From 52€ per group
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 1 hours
* To relax and enjoy the leisurely pace of Florence, I invite you to take a ride along the Arno, the main waterway. You will see the city from a different perspective. The Arn boat will glide easily along the calm river, and I will tell you about the palaces on both sides of it, about the ardent Florentines, their lovers and other stories that permeate the Arno.
What awaits you:
• Ancient bridges and atmospheric palaces.
Once the river was the border of the city, but now it divides it into two parts. In some areas, the palaces are not separated from the shore by the embankment, and it seems that they grow directly out of the water. We will start the walk from Mentana Square. We will sail under the Old Bridge, the bridges of the Holy Trinity and della Carraja and return along the same route, but on the other side of the river.
• Traditions of past eras.
I will tell you about the buildings that stand on the river embankments, for example, the magnificent Corsini Palace, which houses one of the best private collections of paintings. You will learn the history of the Capponi Palace. A Florentine aristocrat in love bought it specifically in order to at least occasionally see his beloved, the Duchess's maid of honor, driving down the street with a motorcade. Let's talk about the churches we'll meet on our way and the bridges we'll sail under.
By the way, everything on the boat is conducive to romantically offering your chosen one a hand and a heart.
