From Milan: Florence Day Trip by Train & Walking Tour｜Italy

Discover the beauty of Florence on a convenient day trip from Milan, combining comfortable train travel with a guided walking tour of the historic center.

Depart from Milano Centrale and reach Florence in around two hours by high-speed train. Once there, meet your local guide and begin your walking tour through the heart of the Renaissance city.

Explore the Medici district and admire landmarks such as Palazzo Medici Riccardi, San Lorenzo Church, and the Medici Chapels. Learn about the powerful Medici family and their influence on Florence’s history.

Continue to Piazza del Duomo, where you can admire the Florence Cathedral, Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, and the Baptistery of San Giovanni (external views).

Walk through medieval streets, pass Orsanmichele, and visit the Mercato della Paglia, home of the Porcellino statue.

Reach Piazza della Signoria, an open-air museum featuring Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi. Continue to the iconic Ponte Vecchio.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore Florence independently—shop for local products, relax in a café, or simply soak in the city’s atmosphere—before returning to Milan by train.
