Discover a magical side of Florence on our Fairy Tales Tour for Kids & Families, a playful city adventure inspired by Collodi’s Pinocchio, Hans Christian Andersen, and the many legends hidden in Florence’s ancient streets.

Continue with the delightful story of Andersen’s Pig Boy, rooted in his time wandering Florence’s squares and palaces.

The magic continues with local legends: the Dragon of Palazzo Vecchio, the enchanted Marzocco Lion, the mysterious stone head of Via del Proconsolo, and the famous bronze boar Il Porcellino, who is said to come alive at night and is known to grant good luck to children who rub its nose.
