Head to the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery
Florence is filled with incredible Renaissance-era masterpieces like Michelangelo’s statue of David and the Gates of Paradise, so be sure not to miss these two famous museums.
Climb Il Duomo
Be sure to check out this stunning cathedral in the center of the city. Get your camera ready to capture amazing photos of what stands as the symbol of this beautiful city.
Work on Your Bartering Skills in the Leather Markets
Get your souvenirs at the vast leather markets in Florence. From wallets and purses to sandals and belts, these vendors sell everything. It is a must see!
Cross the Famous Ponte Vecchio
No trip to Florence could be complete without a visit to this iconic landmark. Adorned with shops and filled with strolling pedestrians, this bridge offers a glimpse into life in Florence in the 13th century.
Enjoy all of the Delicious Food
There is an endless supply of scrumptious food to be found in Florence but we have a couple of favorites to share. Brave the lines to try a panini at All’Antico Vinaio. Stick your face into a bowl of pasta at Osteria Santo Spirito. Then, head to Mercato Centrale and grab casual bite.
