The social customs and traditions of Florence

They are inextricably linked to its historical developments. The Renaissance era, characterized by a fervent artistic and intellectual awakening, imprinted the city with a legacy of innovation and humanism.

This period flourished with excellent art, evidenced by the prolific works of Michelangelo, Donatello, and Brunelleschi.

Culture

Traditional events such as the Calcio Storico highlight the continuity of Florence's medieval customs, offering insights into the city's communal identity and social practices.

Florence's architectural landscape, marked by the emblematic Duomo, with its renowned dome engineered by Brunelleschi, signifies a milestone in architectural design and engineering, reflecting the ingenuity and creative spirit of the time.

If you’re looking for a cultured experience this city houses artworks and public spaces that give a glimpse into what the Renaissance was all about.

Take advantage of Tuscany's incomparable landscape by stopping for sightseeing on the way. We highly recommend Siena and San Gimignano, two medieval hilltop towns that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Pack for comfort

Don’t forget a sunhat and sunscreen to protect against the Mediterranean sun. Comfort is key in Tuscany. Opt for layered clothing to navigate the shifting temperatures with ease. Sturdy, comfortable footwear is a must to navigate the varied terrain, from vineyards to historic city centers.

Travel light

Unless you’re Beyonce, walking in heels through Florence may be a challenge due to the uneven cobblestone streets. Heavy luggage can also be a burden. Travel light, with essentials that fit in a compact, easily maneuverable suitcase or backpack. Of course, when you ride with Daytrip, you can feel a little like Beyonce since your private driver will bring you right to your accommodation and offload your luggage.

Typically buses are a viable option for a hassle-free day trip but unfortunately, there isn't a direct bus from Montepulciano to Florence. Instead, you'll need to make at least one change, typically in Bettolle, though some options require two changes. To make up for it, the bus is the cheapest option, costing as little as $12.
