Time to work out! Yes, Florence can be an amazing spot to exercise at dusk or dawn, the less crowded and less hot moments of the day. Our cultural fitness program combines a great walk with the city’s beauties, through the paths that only locals know.
Length: up to 3 hours.
Meeting point: at the lobby of your hotel if located in the downtown Florence.
Main sites and content: highlights of Florence and special walk up to the most panoramic spot overlooking the valley, Piazzale Michelangelo. Uncomparable experience for photographers or early morning visitors. Zero crowds, 100% true Florentine atmosphere. Climb up all 463 steps of Brunelleschi’s Dome, the largest masonry dome ever built. You will discover the secret architectural structure and the stunning 16th century paintings by Giorgio Vasari from close up. (I suggest guests to enter at opening time in the morning to avoid long lines and the heat inside the narrow staircase inside. The best reward? The 360° panoramic view which opens up from the top of the cupola!)
A much deserved bonus at the end of the fitness-tour, what about stopping for tasty cappuccino & a Florentine pastry?

In 2013 Nat Geo Photographer Dave Yoder was involved in the amazing project to translate into images one of the most challenging engineer projects ever created by mankind: Brunelleschi’s dome in Florence.
