I lived here 20 years ago and continue to visit as a travel writer, teaching other people on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/the-biggest-mistakes-travelers-make-in-italy\/\">travel better in Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Florence has so much to do, it can feel a bit paralyzing \u2014 and for that reason, I recommend travelers spend three days in Florence at the bare minimum. With its entire city center a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, and so much art that seems to spring up from the pavement, any less than three days would be spreading yourself thin!<\/p>\n<p>Between 10 million and 16 million tourists visit Florence every year, and honestly, there\u2019s not really a low season anymore, except <em>maybe<\/em> January. I most recently visited in March and there were huge crowds everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the throngs of people, though, Firenze is magical. The city charms me as much today as it did 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So here is a three-day Florence itinerary that I think will work very well for you. I hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p><em>This post was published in December 2024 and was co-written by Adventurous Kate and Hannah Cooper.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36174\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x768.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x600.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1536.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x113.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Kate smiling in front of Florence's massive white, red, and green cathedral.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x768.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kate smiling in front of Florence's massive white, red, and green cathedral.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kate-in-Flornce-Duomo-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"before_your_trip\"\/>Before Your Trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book <em>everything<\/em> in advance.<\/strong> Florence is busy year-round and tickets sell out days (if not weeks) in advance.

It\u2019s fine if you\u2019re taking photos with your phone. I also think climbing the bell tower is a better option if you have kids, because it\u2019s impossible for them to fall out.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to climb the bell tower but not the Duomo, you can buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.duomo.firenze.it\/en\/store#\/en\/buy?skugroup_id=3006\">Giotto Pass<\/a> for 20 EUR ($22).<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, which one do I think is better?<\/strong> Neither is a bad choice, it\u2019s just about personal preference. <\/p>\n<p>Personally, I actually prefer climbing the bell tower because you get an excellent view of the Duomo, but when you climb the Duomo, you can\u2019t see the Duomo because you\u2019re in it! It\u2019s also less of a herding experience than the Duomo, because you can go at your own pace and rest at the different platforms in the bell tower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to climb either of them? <\/strong>That\u2019s totally fine!

You can either walk it or take an Uber. That said, it\u2019s a scenic and enjoyable walk.<\/p>\n<p>If you walk, it will take you past the Ponte Vecchio and the Rose Garden before leading you past Piazzale Michelangelo and up the final staircase to San Miniato al Monte. If you take an Uber, it will drop you off at the final staircase.<\/p>\n<p>San Miniato al Monte feels so different from the other churches in Florence, in part because it predates the Renaissance era. The frescoes are less sophisticated, but it gives you such a strong feeling of history. (I always feel like it\u2019s a bit haunted.)<\/p>\n<p>Besides the incredible views, this Romanesque church with geometric marbling is a wonder of Tuscany. Head inside to view the mosaic of Jesus, the Virgin, and St. Miniato before taking a stroll through the cemetery. The view from here is one of my favorite views in Florence.<\/p>\n<p>Notable graves include Carlo Collodi (author of <em>The Adventures of Pinocchio<\/em>) and the soprano Marietta Piccolomini, known for her starring role in <em>La Traviata<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The church is free to visit. It\u2019s open daily, 9:30\u202fAM-1:00\u202fPM and 3:30\u20137:00 PM.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36152\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x679.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x531.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x509.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1019.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1359.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" alt=\"A view of the skyline of Florence, with the Ponte Vecchio crossing the river, the Palazzo Vecchio's tower sticking straight up, and the Duomo dominating everything.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1359.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x679.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"A view of the skyline of Florence, with the Ponte Vecchio crossing the river, the Palazzo Vecchio's tower sticking straight up, and the Duomo dominating everything.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1359.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Piazzale-Michelangelo-View-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"piazzale_michelangelo\"\/>Piazzale Michelangelo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Keep an eye on your watch as you explore San Miniato \u2014 you\u2019ll want to walk the seven-minute downhill walk from here to Piazzale Michelangelo in time for sunset!<\/strong> Say hello to the David statue and find a good spot!<\/p>\n<p>Know that you won\u2019t be alone \u2014 just you and a few hundred of your fellow travelers. It\u2019s no secret that this piazza is the best place to see the brilliant colors of sunset. Crowds aside, the atmosphere is lovely. Some people play live music, and everyone is in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>Very close to Piazzale Michelangelo is the Rose Garden of Florence. This is another beautiful spot, especially if you\u2019re visiting at a time of year when roses are in bloom.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I notice is that people often leave sunset spots as soon as the sun drops beneath the horizon. (Often after a round of applause. Heh.)<\/p>\n<p>As a photographer, I urge you to stick around a bit. Some of the prettiest colors in the sky happen after the sun sets.

You can either order \u00e0 la carte here (better for vegetarians, or if you don\u2019t like rare steak), or order the Menu Degustazione, which serves several courses and I think is excellent value for money.<\/p>\n<p>If Il Latini isn\u2019t for you, look around you \u2014 this is one of my favorite neighborhoods for dining in Florence, where the food is delicious and it\u2019s not as tourist-trappy as others. <a href=\"https:\/\/ristorantegilo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ristorante Gilo\u2019 Firenze<\/a> is more upscale with a diverse menu and live music.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend taking a quick look at reviews on Google Maps before committing to a place and going for a rating of at least 4.2 (I find Italians are harsh in their restaurant ratings!). Just keep in mind that it\u2019s smart to book in advance, as many Florence restaurants book out far ahead of time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36161\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x684.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x513.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1026.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1368.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" alt=\"Big crowds standing in front of Botticelli's Venus at the Uffizi Gallery\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x684.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Big crowds standing in front of Botticelli's Venus at the Uffizi Gallery\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Botticelli-Venus-Uffizi-Crowd-Things-to-Do-in-Florence-Italy-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"day_2_art_and_oltrarno\"\/>Day 2: Art and Oltrarno<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"uffizi_gallery\"\/>Uffizi Gallery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Finish your morning cappuccino bright and early and aim to be one of the first people through the door at the Uffizi Gallery. <\/strong>Art history buffs can spend the whole day at this huge museum, while casual art fans should plan for around two hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Galleria degli Uffizi is a who\u2019s who of Renaissance artists.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Another beautiful square, Piazza della Signoria is a place you\u2019ll cross several times throughout your three-day Florence itinerary.<\/strong> It\u2019s a few minutes\u2019 walk from the Uffizi exit and home to the Palazzo Vecchio, a fake statue of David, and the Neptune fountain that is frequently vandalized by locals.<\/p>\n<p>The square is beautiful to see, and don\u2019t miss the Loggia dei Lanzi \u2014 a section of the square featuring several sculptures. Benvenuto Cellini\u2019s\u00a0<em>Perseus with the Head of Medusa<\/em> is among the most famous works here.<\/p>\n<p>If you have time for a libation, I highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/rivoire.it\/en\/home-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rivoire<\/a>, a cafe right on the square. Their <em>ciccolato caldo con crema<\/em> (hot chocolate with cream) is so rich and sumptuous \u2014 I make time for it on most of my Florence trips!<\/p>\n<p>You can either sit at the outdoor seating on the square and people-watch, or sit inside and enjoy the over-the-top maximalist decor of the cafe.

If not, feel free to skip it.<\/p>\n<p>The Gucci brand originated in Florence, and Gucci Garden is a shop featuring some unique items you can\u2019t find for sale anywhere else in the world. <\/p>\n<p>But attached is a really cool museum called Gucci Visions, with vintage accessories and apparel on display and themed rooms. I absolutely adored the endless glass cabinets filled with colorful Gucci bags! There are also cool light displays that you can take part in \u2014 perfect for Instagram!<\/p>\n<p>Gucci Visions has also outfits on display worn by Ryan Gosling, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, and other A-listers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty small museum and I think it makes an interesting deviation from Florence\u2019s more serious sights.

If time allows, consider revisiting Ponte Vecchio at different parts of the day. It\u2019s lovely early in the morning and around dusk and even the midday bustle creates a fun atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>I also love photographing the bridge from near the Uffizi exit on the Lungarno. That\u2019s where the above photo was taken.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge is crammed with shops selling gold jewelry. The quality is excellent \u2014 you can expect 18k for the gold, as Florentines believe it\u2019s only gold if it\u2019s 18k (though always double-check just to be sure).

Honestly, I think the view is better from Bardini, but you can\u2019t beat the landscaping and beauty of Boboli.<\/p>\n<p>Palazzo Pitti is closed on Mondays.

They have some really cool weapons on display, and I loved the frescoes on some of the ceilings that evoked a starry night.<\/p>\n<p>Bargello admission costs 10 EUR ($11) and it\u2019s one of the few places where you don\u2019t need to buy skip-the-line tickets in advance.<\/p>\n<p>The museum is open 8:15 AM-1:50 PM on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays and until 6:50 PM on Mondays and Saturdays. It\u2019s closed on Tuesdays.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38402\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-600x800.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1152x1536.jpg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1536x2048.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-640x853.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-150x200.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-scaled.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"An ornate marble grave in a church with an angel weeping over a marble coffin.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-scaled.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-768x1024.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"An ornate marble grave in a church with an angel weeping over a marble coffin.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Santa-Croce-Rossini-Grave-Florence-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"basilica_di_santa_croce\"\/>Basilica di Santa Croce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The world\u2019s largest Franciscan church, Basilica di Santa Croce, dates to the late 13th century.<\/strong> It contains the tombs of Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Galileo, along with many other prominent Florentines, and it has a gorgeous cloistered courtyard.

They have fantastic gelato and so many interesting flavors along with the usual favorites. Know that they\u2019re closed on Tuesdays. They\u2019re an eight-minute walk from Sapori Toscani.<\/p>\n<p>An even closer gelato option is <a href=\"https:\/\/vivoli.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vivoli<\/a>, a three-minute walk away. This is another long-standing gelato joint. I personally don\u2019t think they\u2019re as good as Gelateria dei Neri, but they DO make the best affogato in town! An affogato is espresso poured over a scoop of gelato, and Vivoli ups the ante with beautifully sculpted gelato. They\u2019re closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as you\u2019re spending three days in Florence, you should squeeze in a trip to both gelaterie. I also hope you\u2019ve been eating lots of gelato all this time!<\/p>\n<p>Now that this is your third and final afternoon in Firenze, I recommend you take some time to explore at your own pace \u2014 or don\u2019t. Just sitting in a cafe and people-watching is just as valid as hitting up yet another museum. By now you should know what makes you tick.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few more options, if you\u2019re looking for them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36770\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-2048x1365.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-150x100.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"A close, eye-level view of the Duomo, looking like a drone shot.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A close, eye-level view of the Duomo, looking like a drone shot.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventurouskate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/View-of-Florence-Italy-from-the-Arnolfo-Tower-Palazzo-Vecchio-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"palazzo_vecchio\"\/>Palazzo Vecchio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><strong>If you love views and don\u2019t mind climbing, one of my absolute favorite views is from the Arnolfo Tower at the Palazzo Vecchio on Piazza della Signoria. <\/strong>This is a view that doesn\u2019t seem to get much attention compared to the Duomo, Giotto\u2019s Bell Tower, or even Rinascente or the Boboli Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so unknown, in fact, that people often ask me if the photo above is a drone shot! It\u2019s not! It was taken with my feet planted firmly on the Arnolfo Tower!<\/p>\n<p>So what is the Palazzo Vecchio about? This \u201cOld Palace\u201d had a stint as a Medici residence before switching back to a government office once they settled into Pitti Palace. These days, it\u2019s the town hall of Florence, and the courtyard is free to visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tours of the Palazzo Vecchio apartments complete your education in Renaissance art and political goings on. They\u2019re a bit heavier and I would recommend them primarily for hardcore history buffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now \u2014 here\u2019s the important part. You need to buy museum and tower admission separately. <a href=\"https:\/\/ticketsmuseums.comune.fi.it\/1_museo-di-palazzo-vecchio\/\">You can buy them here.<\/a> Each ticket costs 12.50 EUR ($14).\u00a0Make sure that you select \u201cARNOLFO TOWER\u201d when purchasing your ticket!

This city was founded by the Etruscans and went on to garner the affection of the Medici family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can spend an afternoon taking in the historic sights and lush gardens of Fiesole. Don\u2019t miss the Roman theater and bathhouse built on top of Etruscan foundations.<\/p>\n<p>The monastery of San Francesco is a short but steep walk from the main square.
