Why take this tour?
Strategically located on a hilltop surrounded by four valleys, Arezzo often sits in the shadows of its more renowned neighboring Tuscan cities. On this 2.5 hour tour however, your local guide will unveil its most important cultural and historical sites, revealing why a visit to this hidden gem shouldn't be overlooked.
While soaking up the atmosphere of this elegant medieval city of cobbled streets, your first stop takes you to the imposing Cathedral of St. Peter and Donato. Built between 1278 and 1511 over an ancient pre-Christian church, Arezzo's Cathedral sits at the highest point of the city. The modest facade is deceiving as the treasures that lie inside include the beautiful fresco of the St. Mary Magdalen by Piero della Francesca and stunning stained glass windows.
