Begin your day with a scenic 90-minute motorcoach ride from Livorno to the historical center of Florence — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meet your guide for a tour of Florence's iconic landmarks, including the Duomo (the Florence Cathedral), the ancient baptistery with its famed bronze doors, and Giotto's Bell Tower.
Walk a little further, and you'll discover La Ménagère — a 120-year-old housewares store that is one of the hottest spots in Florence. This multi-use space doubles as a concept café, dining room, accessories boutique, flower shop and cocktail bar. Gardens crawling up the walls and antique tables set with vintage plates and glasses lend a rustic-chic vibe. You can expect your lunch experience here to feel like something out of a magazine photo shoot, thanks to artfully designed dishes such as Carpaccio roast beef, oyster leaf, horseradish mayonnaise-fried oriental mushrooms, small meat Ravioli 'plin' with nettle and sage sauce, and chocolate and raspberry cremaux.
After your gourmet lunch, walk past the Piazza della Signoria, adorned with magnificent statues, including a copy of Michelangelo's David.
Then, reach Piazza Santa Croce — the final resting place of Machiavelli, Galileo, and Michelangelo — and enjoy an hour of free time here before returning to the ship in Livorno.
