Boat trip on the river Arno Florence as you've never seen it

The journey begins near Ponte alle Grazie and covers the entire navigable stretch of the Arno between the Pescaia di San Niccolò and the Pescaia di Santa Rosa, the two weirs that have regulated the river's flow since the Middle Ages.
​We silently glide past the Uffizi and the Vasari Corridor to admire the view from beneath the Ponte Vecchio and the most historically dense part of the city, with its noble palaces and towers.
We pass by the Church of the Holy Apostles and Palazzo Corsini, greet the statues guarding the river from Ponte Santa Trinita, and skirt the neighborhood of San Frediano, where the church of San Jacopo Soprarno displays its apse right at the water's edge. We then approach Ponte alla Carraia before turning back to our embarkation point near Palazzo della Borsa.
