A stunning church and lively neighborhood filled with leather shops and trattorias.
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Climb to the top of Brunelleschi’s dome for breathtaking city views!
Gelateria dei Neri
One of the best gelato stops in Florence.
All’Antico Vinaio
Famous for its huge, delicious panini (expect a line, but it’s worth it!).
Uffizi Galleries
Home to masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci.
Palazzo Vecchio
The heart of Florence’s political history with incredible art and views of Piazza della Signoria.
Ala Grande Caffè(caffè Rosanò)
Start your morning (or get an afternoon pick-me-up) at Ala Grande Café, a cozy spot just steps from the Duomo!
Buchetta del Vino (Wine Window)
One of Florence’s most charming traditions is its historic wine windows (tiny openings in old palace walls where wine was once sold directly to passersby). Today, you can still enjoy a glass through these little windows at spots around the city. It’s a fun, uniquely Florentine experience and a great stop while exploring! Bonus: this spot is right by our recommended hotels!
