But first things first:

FLORENCE AT EASTER: if you have the chance to spend the 2019 Easter celebrations in Florence – spanning from 18th to 28th April - you should visit its main attractions, the neighbouring cities, but also the many medieval villages scattered on the Chianti hills and relish their charming atmosphere and breath-taking views. Here are just a few suggestions:

• Food and Wine Tour in Chianti from Florence. During this tour, you will spend an afternoon relaxing in Chianti, one of the most popular areas of Tuscany, while tasting the famous and worldwide-known Chianti wine. The first part of the excursion includes a visit to two renowned wineries, where you will see how the wine is produced and stored but above all you will have the opportunity to discover and taste delicious local products accompanied, of course, by excellent Chianti wine!

• Day trip to Siena, San Gimignano and the Chianti area. By participating in this tour, which also starts from Florence, you will visit Siena with its famous shell shaped piazza, the beautiful village of Monteriggioni, the charming town of San Gimignagno and, last but not least, the Chianti area with its fairy-tale scenarios. A delight for the eyes... and, dare we say, the palate as well, thanks to the visit to the winery with Chianti wine tasting and scrumptious snacks!

25 APRIL IN FLORENCE: this year 25th April, Liberation Day in Italy, falls on a Thursday ... and so why not treat yourself to a beautiful holiday in spring in Florence and discover one of the most beautiful cities in Italy? As you can see for yourself by consulting the section dedicated to the tours in Florence, our proposals cover the great classics, including the famous museums of Florence, but also unusual and original visits. Here are some ideas.

• The Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery are certainly a must see for anyone visiting Florence as they house work of arts of great beauty such as 'La Primavera' by Botticelli, Titian’s 'Venus of Urbino' and Donatello’s 'David', just to name a few.

• If you love unusual tours, why not consider the 'Inferno Tour', an intriguing itinerary that retraces the places described in the famous novel by Dan Brown and 'In the footsteps of the Medici Family', an extraordinary escorted tour in the historic centre of Florence to get to know the family that marked the destiny of this city leaving long-lasting testimonies.

• As is well known, food and wine are one of the major attractions for tourists in Tuscany... so why not visit the destinations linked to this region’s great culinary history while at the same enjoying a class on traditional food cooking?

Besides guided tours, let’s not forget about what's on in Florence in April 2019 and also in its surroundings! Out of all the exhibitions, let us bring your attention to ‘Van Gogh and the cursed’ set up at the Santo Stefano al Ponte Auditorium and the ‘Florence International Handicraft trade fair’ in the suggestive location of the Fortezza da Basso.

In April in Florence, among the Easter events, we would like to draw your attention to the classic 'Explosion of the Cart', a folk event that takes place every year on Easter Sunday: a pair of oxen pull along the streets of the historic centre a cart carrying the typical 'brindellone' (a sort of pyrotechnic tower). On the climax of the ceremony, the Archbishop lights from his altar a rocket in the shape of a dove that, following the main nave of the church, reaches the outside and sets the wagon on fire. Excitement is guaranteed!
