Things to do in Firenze

The best time to visit Florence is during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is mild and pleasant. These seasons offer fewer crowds compared to summer, making it easier to explore popular sites. Winters are cooler and quieter, while summers can be hot and crowded.

Must-see attractions in Florence include the Florence Cathedral (Duomo), Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Galleria dell'Accademia, Boboli Gardens, and Piazzale Michelangelo. These sites showcase the city's rich Renaissance art, architecture, and stunning views.

A 3-day visit is ideal to cover Florence’s main highlights. Spend the first day exploring the historic center and Duomo, the second day visiting major museums like the Uffizi and Accademia, and the third day enjoying outdoor spaces such as Boboli Gardens and panoramic views from Piazzale Michelangelo.

Florence is best explored on foot due to its compact historic center. Public buses are available for longer distances, and day passes can be purchased for convenience. From Florence Airport (Peretola), a shuttle bus or taxi connects to the city center, while Santa Maria Novella train station is centrally located and well-connected by regional and high-speed trains.
