Florence
The city of Florence still possesses the greatest collection of Renaissance art on earth.
Wandering beside the Arno, gazing at the frescoes of Masaccio, the heroic figures of Donatello and Michelangelo, and the dome of Brunelleschi, the city's most famous landmark, you can truly recapture the atmosphere of this exciting era.
The masterpieces of these artists created a golden age for Florentine art and one which still inspires us today. The most astonishing thing of all is that the streets and squares of Florence remain virtually unchanged since the age of the Medici.
Standing in the Bargello or in front of a Ghirlandaio fresco, you are transported back to the world of the Quattrocento.
Bellini Travel can divulge a secret known only to the Uffizi guards and a few real cognoscenti. A private visit to the Vasari Corridor is a unique opportunity to see where Grand Dukes hid from would be assassins, and the best gallery of self-portraits in the world.
