What makes Florence Eco Tour by Electric Golf Cart a unique experience ?
From the outside, the Medici Chapels present a solid, imposing structure attached to the Basilica of San Lorenzo. Their distinctive dome rises above the rooftops of Florence, hinting at the grandeur within. The austere stone façade contrasts with the rich artistic treasures housed inside, marking the resting place of one of Florence’s most powerful families.
Piazza della Signoria is the political and cultural heart of Florence, framed by historic buildings and iconic sculptures. Dominated by Palazzo Vecchio, the square also features the magnificent Fountain of Neptune, a symbol of Medici power and maritime ambition. Nearby, the Loggia dei Lanzi displays striking statues, turning the piazza into an open-air museum where art, history, and civic life come together.
Walking beneath the Vasari Corridor feels like stepping through a suspended piece of Florence’s history. As you follow the Arno River, look up to see the elegant elevated passageway commissioned by the Medici, connecting Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti. From this spot, you’re treated to a breathtaking view of the Ponte Vecchio, with its charming goldsmith shops perched over the water. A magical moment where art, power, and beauty come together in a single glance.
Piazza Pitti is a grand and elegant square in Florence, dominated by the imposing facade of Palazzo Pitti, once home to the Medici and later the royal family. The wide, open space is a favorite spot for locals and visitors to relax on the stone steps and admire the harmony between Renaissance architecture and daily Florentine life. Just behind lies the entrance to the Boboli Gardens, offering a peaceful green escape.
The National Central Library of Florence is one of Italy’s most important libraries and among the largest in Europe. Located along the Arno River near Piazza Santa Croce, its neoclassical façade hides vast collections of rare manuscripts, historic documents, and every publication printed in Italy since 1870. A true temple of knowledge in the heart of Florence.
Piazza Santa Croce is one of Florence’s most iconic squares, dominated by the majestic Basilica of Santa Croce, where greats like Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli are buried. Surrounded by elegant historic buildings and lively cafés, the square is a vibrant gathering place and the stage for traditional events like the Calcio Storico. A perfect blend of art, history, and local life.
The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella faces the square of the same name with one of Florence’s most elegant and harmonious façades. Partly designed by Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century, the façade is a Renaissance masterpiece, featuring refined geometric patterns in white and green marble. Founded by Dominican friars in the 13th century, the church was built over an earlier chapel and quickly became a major religious and cultural center in the city. Its location near Florence’s entrance gate made it a key reference point for pilgrims and travelers. Today, Santa Maria Novella still welcomes visitors with the same grandeur and beauty, standing as a testament to centuries of Florentine art, faith, and architecture.
