Useful Information about travelling in Florence

One of the best ways to see the city is to take a guided city tour. You'll find a wealth of Renaissance masterpieces in this city, from Michelangelo's David to the dome of the cathedral. You'll also find the Uffizi Gallery, home to Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and da Vinci's Annunciation.

There are many different tours to choose from, including walking tours and private guided tours. Some tours include skip-the-line access to Michelangelo's David. Others offer an exclusive tour of the Uffizi Gallery, where you'll learn about the House of Medici and the famous Renaissance sculptures. You'll even get to walk on the roof terrace and enjoy breathtaking views of Florence.

Another way to see the city is by taking a bus tour. The B line bus tours operate year-round and have 24 stops. The first part of the tour circles the city's historic center. Similar to Line A, it is an excellent way to see the sights of Florence. The bus also makes stops in the Fiesole area.

For a more relaxed way to see the city, consider taking an electric bike tour. You'll get to see the famous sights of the city, including Piazza della Repubblica and the Medici Riccardi Palace. Whether you're a tourist or local, there's a Florence sightseeing tour to suit your budget and interests.

The best things to do in Florence

If you're planning a trip to Florence, there are many things you can do. There are many museums, historical sites, and galleries to see, and there are even more outdoor activities, such as hiking and biking. We've compiled a list of the best things to do in Florence so that you can have the best time possible.

Piazzale Michelangelo

Piazzale Michelangelo

Located on the south bank of the River Arno, Piazzale Michelangelo is an ideal spot to take in the city's stunning view. It is also home to a bronze statue of David and several vendors selling their wares. The views of Florence from this hill are spectacular, and it makes for an ideal location for a memorable photo.

The Duomo

Visiting the Duomo is one of the most popular things to do in Florence. It has 360-degree panoramic views and is a must-see. While visiting the Duomo, visitors should make sure to climb the stairs so they can enjoy the view from the top.

Brancacci Chapel

The Brancacci Chapel was painted in the fifteenth century. It became a school for Renaissance artists, and Giorgio Vasari wrote that it was where all the most famous painters and sculptors studied. Even though the chapel suffered a great fire in 1771, the frescoes survived. In 1980, they were cleaned and restored, revealing their original vibrant colors.

The Palace of Bargello

The Palace of Bargello

One of the most important museums in Florence is the Bargello Museum, and it is a must-see for art lovers. The museum offers guided tours, so you won't have to wait in line or worry about missing out on any of the art. Your tour guide will provide information about the museum's highlights, including the work of Michelangelo and Donatello.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower

One of the most famous churches in Florence is the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower. The 153-metre long structure was the largest church in Europe when it was finished in the 15th century. It was built over the ruins of an ancient Roman temple. In addition, the cathedral was the largest in the world when it first opened. The cathedral's dome was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and is considered earthquake and lightning proof. The cathedral's dome is accessible to the public between 8:30am and 7:00pm. Tickets are valid for 72 hours after purchase.
