Guided visits of about an hour, taking place also for Christmas and holidays, allow visitors to dive into ancient Florence between intrigues and secrets of the most famous court during the Renaissance.
Special itineraries for the families: guided visits to show Palazzo Vecchio to kids from 4 to 8 years old, from 8 to 10 years old, and from 10 to 18 years old.
