Thursday, 27 July - Free Day with Andrea Bocelli Performance
Take time out to relax and explore Tuscany at your own pace. In the late afternoon transfer to Lajatico for Andrea Bocelli's performance in the outside arena “Teatro del Silenzio”. The magical atmosphere of the natural theatre, which was built for Bocelli and his yearly performance, will make the experience even more unforgettable. The theme of the 2023 operatic performance has not yet been announced. Maestro Bocelli holds this night close to his heart, so it should be as spectacular as ever. The performance is more operatic and not his cross-over hits. After the performance transfer back to the hotel.

Siena is an Etruscan town and a Roman colony and is today the real and live model of a medieval town.

The tour begins from San Domenico Church, a majestic basilica of gothic origins, erected by the Dominicans in the 9th century and continues with the old town characterized by the Piazza del Campo which is the setting for the annual horse race, The Palio.

Florence was at its height, creatively, politically and culturally between the 13th and the 16th century and still today the many works of art that attract tourists are related to that period.

Our visit to Florence offers a marvellous panoramic of the most important places of the town - the Dome Square and the Cathedral, the Giotto Bell and the Baptistery. The visit continues with the Signoria Square, Palazzo Vecchio and the suggestive Ponte Vecchio, where you can find famous ancient goldsmiths along the street.
