What awaits you?
This city is direct and sincere: much of its character was formed through disputes, miscalculations and unexpected discoveries. A walk with the TouringBee audio guide in Florence helps you sense this quality – when every masterpiece is linked to a real person with their own flaws.
- A friendly taunt turns a master into a rival – and one clever remark redirects the course of an entire artistic project
- An old habit of tying up one’s transport shows that daily routines sometimes shape the city’s future more than the decisions of its rulers
- A small doorway in a stone wall leads into a trading scheme where trust, greed and quiet resistance to the rules coexist
- At times, family ambitions become the spark for cultural change – especially when those in power try to craft their idealised version of themselves
- A private grudge can turn into a political strike so forceful that it unsettles the country’s foundations for years
- An engineering insight explains why the masters of the past measured every line down to the millimetre to outwit the laws of perspective
- The tale of fierce rivalry between two artists left its trace in the halls of the Palazzo Vecchio – and in the very void where their great work was meant to appear
- A simple habit of tossing coins grows into a ritual that gradually transforms the city into a workshop of wishes
- The legend of a man who didn’t flinch under the gaze of authority reminds us that scientific courage sometimes outweighs personal freedom
