Duomo: Initially constructed in 1436 it is located in the center of the old city, the Duomo stands out for miles and creates an imposing sight amongst the other medieval buildings. If you are up for a climb you can take the 463 steps to the top of Brunelleschi's Dome! Uffizi Gallery: Beautiful Renaissance art in one of the most important museums in the world. Galleria dell'Accademia: Here you will find Michelangelo's David sculpture and it is really a sight to see. Baboli Gardens: These gardens are beautiful and some of the largest in Florence, for sure a must-see if you are looking for some nature!

Shopping: Florence is known for its leather some of our favorite places are Via de 'Ginori 23r and Casini! Gelato: We love La Sorbetteria, Vivoli and Gelateria dei Neri! Pizza: Gustapizza is an incredibly popular spot but it is hard to go wrong anywhere in Italy! Sandwich: Grab an insanely good sandwich at Da' Vinattieri or the very popular All'Antico Vinaio . . . go hungry! Wine: Be on the lookout for the "Little Doors of Paradise" these wine doors have been in use since the 1600s and some still operate today like at Osteria delle Brache!
