What you will visit:
Florence (5-hours on your own)
Florence is one of Italy's most artistically significant cities and arguably the seat of the Renaissance. Take to the streets and absorb the culture. Sample the Florentine cafes. View the stunning art and architecture of other remarkable highlights including the Uffizi Museum and Gallery, one the Western world's oldest and most famous museums, and Pitti Palace. Or visit the Duomo where, upon entering, you can look up to view the dome's interior, adorned with a fresco of the Last Supper and beautiful stained glass. In the Cathedral Museum you'll see The Deposition, a famous pieta, created by Michelangelo at the age of 80. The face of Nicodemus in this pieta is widely considered to be a self-portrait of Michelangelo himself. Other can't miss attractions include the Piazza Della Signoria as well the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge and the St. Croce Square and Church - the final resting place of such notables as Galileo, Machiavelli and Michelangelo.
What you will see along the way:
It's a scenic 120-minute drive from La Spezia to Florence.
Lunch:
Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the may splendid dining establishments in Florence. Be sure to follow up your meal with a refreshing gelato. You'll need Euros to pay for lunch, shopping and entry fees throughout your day. You can exchange currency onboard ship or at a local currency exchange.
