Florence

A few well-chosen masterpieces, lively markets, and working studios beyond the Arno.

Things to do in Florence: itineraries and local tips

Duomo complex

Make the Dome or Bell Tower your main climb, then use the pass across three calendar days instead of turning one morning into a staircase contest.

2–4 hours€€

Uffizi Galleries

Choose five works or rooms before you enter. The museum becomes readable and leaves room for genuine surprises.

2–3 hours€€

Oltrarno and Santo Spirito

Walk through Santo Spirito, San Frediano and Porta Romana while looking into real workshops, not only souvenir windows.

2–3 hoursFree unless you buy

Sant'Ambrogio Market

Arrive while the market is properly working, notice what residents buy and build a simple breakfast or lunch.

60–90 minutes€

Piazzale Michelangelo → San Miniato

Treat the famous viewpoint as a stop, not the finish. A few minutes higher, San Miniato offers space, architecture and a calmer view.

2–3 hoursFree

The same careful selection, one city at a time.
