There is no limit to the ways in which a city as beautiful as Florence can be explored. Visitors to the capital of Tuscany can certainly go sightseeing on foot or via their car rental in Italy, but there are also other options.

For instance, travelers can see the city from the River Arno when they hop aboard a Florence boat tour. Passengers will ride one of the few wooden boats left in the city as their guide takes them on an unforgettable voyage through the history of Florence. On this intimate ride, people will pass under bridges such as the Ponte vecchio and Santa Trinita, while learning about the Vasari Corridor and the Uffizi gallery.

Rather than riding a boat, some visitors to Florence may prefer some fun on a Segway. These special tours of the city are open to groups of two to six and allow people to cruise through the streets for 3 hours. Along the way, participants can expect to see such sites as the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Strozzi and other famous attractions.

Whether travelers choose to go on a tour or simply set out on their own in their car rental in Florence, they are sure to enjoy their time exploring the Cradle of the Renaissance.
