Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture – in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Prima cosa da fare a Firenze l'è una bella canna ai piazzale!!!
We are going to Florence towards the end of March is that considered the off season?

Great video, thank you! We just made plans for our first trip this coming May, so this is so helpful. Question for you; we don't speak the language, altho I'm learning some basic Italian as fast as I can – how much of an issue is that for travelers? Thanks again!
My first time there in a few months. I can't wait! Is it possible to make reservations for every museum in the city?
Ezio Auditore Brought me Here ! 🙏✊
20 what ?? Terrible, anyone who can point a camera style video. Is making pasta in your apartment one of the "20" things to do ??
I appreciate that it takes time, effort and interest to make and post something but my time is valuable and eating a gelato is not a legitimate "thing to do" in Florence.
You could have told us how to skip the line at the Uffizi Gallery….that would be a genuine "thing to do".
I don't like being negative on YT but this is just poor unthoughtful content.
It did look cold; what month of the year did you visit. Would you recommend the Airbnb you stayed at?
Hi Samuel and Audrey! Congratulations for your very very interesting and well done video. I liked and subscribed. I am from Florence and I am also very interested about Florence's historical facts and secrets, and I made a video about 7 amazing secrets of this wonderful city (non-for tourist stuff). Stuff that only the people who grew up there know. Feel free to check it out on my channel if you want. My best!
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽
I dont get.. whats so nice about italy? Looks over rated. I rather be in the carribean
Great video. A bit of advice for those who are looking to see a lot of museums and sites. There is a Florence pass that is good for 3 days and covers everything and allows you to bypass the lines. Also kids under 18 get in free to most sites.
Cannot wait !!!!
When is the best time to visit?
Io a Firenze ci sono stata il weekend scorso
But you dind't try the "lampredotto" which is one
of the specialities of Florence… next time follow my tip. Not eat pesto(from Genova) and eat it!!
What month did you travel there?
Nice presentation ❤
What time of year did you guys visit? Sorry if I missed it
What time of the year did you guys do it? Thanks in advance.
