OVERVIEW

Enjoy an insider’s look at attractions in Florence that served as locations for a number of blockbuster films, in this immersive walking adventure. Although the Uffizi Gallery may be better known for its works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the art museum also made an ideal setting for the crime-thriller “Hannibal.” The scene with Hannibal Lecter sitting in front of Botticelli’s painting “Primavera” is unforgettable. As you walk from one former film location to another, the guide will elaborate on some of the movies shot in Florence. You will see the Hotel degli Orafi that had a prominent role in the Oscar-winning film “Room with a View” and stop in the Baptistery of Saint John next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore – better known as the Duomo – where scenes from Dan Brown’s “Inferno” were filmed. Then there is the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the palace that appeared throughout the TV series “Medici: Masters of Florence.”
