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 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 and is a favorite of Food & Wine Magazine. 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 handmade spaghetti with cuttlefish, zucchini cream and mint; or roasted gnocchi with sheep's-milk cheese, lemon, green apple and fried couscous.
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.
