Things To Do
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Possibly the most celebrated cathedral in the world, the Duomo as it is simply known in Florence is the jewel of the city.
Ponte Vecchio
panning the river Arno, the Vecchio Bridge is noted for the number of shops that are built into the sides of the bridge, its decorated history and the plethora of shops that line the main walkway. History records date the bridge as early as 996 but its true origin is unclear.
Uffizi Gallery
t is one of the most wondrous collection of Renaissance art in the world and many of the pieces are simply fantastic such as The Baptism of Christ by Da Vinci, the Adoration of the Magi by Botticelli and the Sacrifice of Isaac by Caravaggio.
Piazzale Michelangelo
This square offers the best view of Florence and of the Cathedral in the entire city. Located on the South banks of the River Arno, the Piazzale Michelangelo sits high on a hill near the Boboli Gardens and the Palazzo Pitti.
Mercato Centrale
ere, you'll find vendors selling wine, fruit, meat, fish, cheese, oil and spices on the ground level, which is frequented by locals as much as tourists. The upstairs food court is a great place for groups that can never decide on what to eat. Expect fresh pastas, Florentine meat or vegetarian burgers, pizza, dumplings, a truffle bar, fried fish, cold cuts and gelato.
Vivoli
One of the oldest (and best) gelato shops in Florence
