Our family is planning to climb the Duomo on Thursday morning before heading down to the venue! Are you up for the 463-step climb?!
You can get some of the best views of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo. It's a great walk if you start from the stairs at Rampe del Poggi in Piazza Poggi and walk all the way to the top!
Walk across the Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence spared from destruction during World War II, and famous for all the jewelry shops. You can have lunch in Santa Spirito after your walk!
You absolutely have to get their pasta with meat and bechamel sauce, it's the best in Florence!
In the 1600s the bubonic plague hit Florence hard but these little windows were a safe way for shopkeepers to sell wine and food with minimal contact. Now it might be a little touristy but grabbing a glass of wine from one of the windows is a fun way to wait for your lunch or dinner reservation!
