What To See And Do in Florence

Florence is one of our very favorite cities.  It is an alluring city filled with rich history and dazzling architecture.  We love that it is a smaller city, completely walkable.  No need for taxis or buses to see the sights.

  • The Duomo
  • The Baptistry
  • Michelangelo's David at the Galleria dell' Accademia
  • Uffizi museum
  • Pitti Palace
  • Sante Croce
  • Ponte Vecchio
  • Piazza della Signoria
  • Palazzo Vecchio
