Discover Florence

Florence is a place where art, history and everyday life all share the same streets. The Duomo sets the scene, but the magic is often in the small details: frescoed churches down quiet lanes, artisan workshops making leather and paper goods, and cafés where locals linger over espresso.

It is worth booking the Uffizi for its Renaissance masterpieces and the Accademia for Michelangelo’s David, so you can enjoy both without the long waits. The city itself feels like an open-air gallery, with palaces, fountains and hidden squares at every turn.

Food is a big part of the experience. Family-run trattorie, which are relaxed traditional restaurants, serve Bistecca alla Fiorentina and seasonal dishes, while gelaterie and markets offer something fresh and sweet to try as you go.

Our Walking Specialists can tailor your trip to the dates, durations and hotels that suit you.

Sample Florence city break itinerary

  • Begin your morning at the Duomo, Florence’s most recognisable landmark. Climb Brunelleschi’s dome for a breathtaking panorama over the terracotta rooftops, or opt for the Campanile for a slightly quieter but equally rewarding view.
  • Next, make your way to the Uffizi Gallery, home to works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Book in advance to avoid long queues and take your time wandering through centuries of Renaissance art.
  • In the late afternoon, stroll across the Ponte Vecchio with a gelato in hand, and watch the Arno River shimmer in the golden light. End the day by settling in for dinner at a local trattoria to enjoy hearty Tuscan dishes and a glass of Chianti.
  • Spend your morning exploring the Oltrarno district, Florence’s artisan heart. Wander through narrow streets lined with craft workshops, small galleries, and quiet cafés where locals start their day.
  • Stop by Mercato Centrale for a relaxed lunch. It’s the perfect place to sample fresh pasta, cheeses, and seasonal produce.
  • In the afternoon, slow down in the city’s elegant squares. Piazza della Signoria and Piazza del Duomo are magnificent at any hour, but they’re especially atmospheric in the early morning or late afternoon when the crowds thin and the light softens.
