Porta al Prato Travel Guide

One of the Renaissance’s greatest achievements, the immense dome of the "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower" has become an iconic symbol of the city of Florence.

Lose yourself in the Renaissance charm of Florence’s old town, where masterpieces by Brunelleschi and Giotto line up alongside cafés, gelato shops and trattorias.

Florence’s oldest bridge, the iconic Ponte Vecchio has seen four centuries of art, jewellers and beautiful sunsets.

After visiting Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Florence. Stroll along the riverfront or experience the fascinating museums in this vibrant area.

Superlatives abound for Florence’s Uffizi Gallery: the most famous, most extensive and, some say, most important gallery in the world.

Home to the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore and the Baptistery of St John, this historic bustling square is a feast for the eyes that is not to be missed.
