What to Do in Florence: Sights, Art, and Food
by Freetour on FREETOUR.com
Why we featured this post
Florence’s headline sights can turn into long queues and overtired kids fast, so this guide earns its place with practical pacing advice. It explains why the Uffizi needs three to four hours, why the more manageable Accademia takes about 90 minutes, and why timed tickets for both, plus the Duomo climb, should be secured roughly three weeks ahead. Families can weigh the 463-step cupola climb against its panoramic payoff, then save sunset for Piazzale Michelangelo. The route up through the rose garden to San Miniato al Monte is a particularly useful way to make the evening feel like an outing, not another museum line.
Things to do
- Climb Brunelleschi’s Dome for citywide views
- See Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery
- Browse Renaissance art at the Uffizi Gallery
- Watch sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo
- Walk through the rose garden to San Miniato al Monte
