Things To Do
Galleria dell'Accademia
The Accademia Gallery is, together with the Uffizi, one of the most visited museums in Florence and the world. The most famous and interesting works of art that make the Accademia famous are without a doubt those created by the genius Michelangelo, and above all, the spectacular statue of David.
Galleria degli Uffizi
The “Galleria degli Uffizi” is one of the most famous museums in the world given the rich amount of unique artworks and masterpieces conserved within its walls, the majority from the Renaissance period. The main part of the collections were left by the Medici to the state of Tuscany so that they could “adorn the State, be of utility to the Public and attract the curiosity of Foreigners”. Stefania's favorite paintings, "Venere" and "Primavera" by Botticelli, are displayed here.
Mercato Centrale
Gourmet food hall on top floor of historic market, with Italian & international fare & events.
Piazzale Michelangelo
19th-century piazza with a bronze replica of Michelangelo's David & panoramic views over the city.
Basilica di Santa Croce
Neo-Gothic Franciscan church known for its Giotto frescoes, plus tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.
Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
Brunelleschi's dome is a must-see. No lift is available and there are many steps. The climb is not recommended for people with a heart condition or suffering from dizziness and claustrophobia.
