10 things to do in Florence

VIEW GREAT ART

Visit the Uffizi Gallery, one of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world and see The Birth Of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.

DELIGHT THE SENSES

Take a trip round San Lorenzo’s Market. Smell, see, taste and touch the freshest products from the local farms and vineyards.

ENJOY A BREAK

Sit at the Loggia dei Lanzi and watch life go by in the Piazza della Signoria. This beautiful square lies just in front of the glorious Palazzo Vecchio.

DINE ON A DELICACY

Eat a Panino con Lampredotto, a local delicacy. There are lampredotto stalls all over the city.

TAKE A RIVER WALK

The ultimate walk is along the Arno River and across the Ponte Vecchio. The most famous bridge of them all, it still has houses and shops on it.

SCALE THE DUOMO

Climbing Florence’s Duomo, with the huge cupola by Filippo Brunelleschi, is one of the most breathtaking experience you can have in Florence.

RELAX AT THE BIBLOTECA

Have an aperitif at The Biblioteca delle Oblate. Or, after climbing the Duomo, try a snack, or something stronger, at the Caffetteria delle Oblate.

SAVOUR THE SUNSET

Enjoy the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo. The view is reproduced as archetypal Florence, the world over.

GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

Hit Oltrarn, the district on the other side of the river from Piazza Della Signoria, where you’re less likely to encounter tourists.

END ON A HIGH

Lastly, a nightcap in Santo Spirito, with its great cafes and jazz clubs. The perfect place to end a night in

one of the world’s greatest cities.
