Things To Do
Piazza del Duomo, Florence
The skyline of Florence is dominated by the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore), with its beautiful, pink, green and white marble and magnificent red-tiled done designed by Brunelleschi and Giotto’s bell tower. If you can, book a day to tour inside!
Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze
The home of Michelangelo’s iconic statue of Dave, which you have to see in person!
Uffizi Galleries
The Uffizi Galleries, the first location we shot our engagement photos at, is also an architectural masterpiece that transports you back in time. Taking a walk through the corridors of busts and frescoes is an unforgettable experience, making the visit a journey into the world of art and history. (Pro tip: It's really beautiful to visit at night too, make a stop on your way to or from dinner)!
Il Grande Nuti Trattoria
Enjoy traditional Tuscan cuisine with fresh handmade pasta and top quality meat, accompanied by fine Tuscan and international wines. We walked by one day and chefs were making handmade pasta in the window- it was one of the best meals we had, if not the best. Make a reservation ahead of time because it gets busy - book on their website or through The Fork, which is Italy's version of Open Table - https://www.thefork.com/
Trattoria Gabriello
Trust us, this is a must! We walked into this place one night when we were starving and ended up coming back twice. Family owned, and a hidden gem amongst tourist traps. Ask for a table upstairs for a little more privacy.
Neromo
The truffle pizza is a non-negotiable order! The highlight is the Pizzeria that churns out pizzas made with naturally-leavened doguh, topped with fresh products typical of Neapolitan cuisine, from burrata to Motticella tomatoes.
