Things To Do

Stroll through Piazza della Signoria

Palazzo Vecchio

nother one of the best things to do in Florence has to be seeing Palazzo Vecchio (and its 311ft high belltower). And guess what? It’s totally easy to see if you’re already in the piazza. Palazzo Vecchio has graced the streets of Florence for over 700 years and is still as iconic as ever. Take a wander through its Courtyards and marvel at its stunning architecture and the frescoes that adorned the walls. It’s incredible to see all the different works that the Medici’s arranged.

See the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo)

You can’t go all the way to Florence without seeing the Duomo di Firenze. Actually, its full name is the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, but most people just call it the Duomo. It’s easily one of the biggest buildings and best things to do in Florence whilst you’re here.

Ponte Vecchio

This unique bridge is one of the oldest in Florence and possibly the most recognisable bridge in Italy. Filled with little shops and stalls, the market is a bustling place with visitors. That being said, it’s one of the best things to do in Florence if you haven’t been before. Just make sure to wander the banks of the river Arno, too. You’ll get some impressive views of Ponte Vecchio from there. With almost a thousand years of history, Ponte Vecchio is a must-see.
