Free Walking Tour of Florence’s Mysteries and Legends

Florence has its fair share of spooky secrets that you won’t find in any guidebook. This is a unique opportunity to join a Free Walking Tour at night time in this city, where you’ll hear spooky stories as you walk through some of the most famous spots.

The starting point is at Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, a secret treasure in Florence filled with intriguing tales. 

In this spot, you’ll not only discover the history of this area and the tale that gave a name to the Basilica but you’ll also hear a legend about a monk who was asked to paint a portrait of the Virgin Mary.

You'll walk along Via de Servi, one of the most charming streets in Florence, as we make our way to Piazza dei Duomo and the stunning cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore. In front of its magnificent facade, you'll hear about the notorious Pazzi conspiracy and other hidden tales.

The Free Tour will carry on through the historic center of Florence, exploring streets like Via del Campanile, Via Dello Studio, Del Corso, and Santa Margherita. As you absorb the beauty of these spots, your guide will move on to the tale of the “Monster of Florence,” a murderer linked to eight crimes between 1968 and 1985. 

After that spooky story, you will continue to Piazza della Signoria and, in front of Palazzo Vecchio, you will learn more mysterious legends surrounding the Florentines.  

The tour will end at the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest bridge over the Arno River. Who knows what secret lies behind one of the most emblematic icons of the Tuscan capital.

Join us for the Free Walking Tour of Florence and dive into a complete experience in the heart of the Renaissance.
