IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISCOVER
FLORENCE IN
JUST ONE WEEKEND?
It may seem like a daunting task, but thanks to this program designed for those with limited time, with a little planning and online booking of entrance tickets to the most important museums, you can even do it on foot, as the historic center is very compact!
This itinerary is ideal for visiting the city in 48 hours while also fully enjoying all the beauty the cradle of the Italian Renaissance has to offer.
If you arrive in Florence in the afternoon, we recommend taking a stroll through the magnificent historic center after dropping off your bags.
Once you reach Piazza del Duomo, which has always offered a picture-perfect view of the Tuscan capital, continue toward the city's cathedral, where you can admire Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistery of San Giovanni in all their splendor.
Arrival day
Next, walk along Via de' Pecori and then turn left onto Via de' Brunelleschi to admire the luxurious streets of the historic center.
Then continue until you reach Piazza della Repubblica, one of the most important and largest squares in the city.
Then take Via Pellicceria, which will take you to the Fontana del Porcellino,
which is linked to one of the most characteristic rumors: if you pet the famous bronze animal,
you'll surely return to the capital!
Walking along Via Porta Rossa, you approach Piazza della Signoria, one of the liveliest and most emblematic places where
all the Tuscan nobility once gathered.
Then cross Piazzale degli Uffizi to reach the Arno River and be amazed by the view of the Ponte Vecchio, perhaps the most romantic place in Florence and home to the main
goldsmiths' workshops.
Start your day at one of the city's most important museums, the Galleria dell'Accademia, home to Michelangelo's famous David.
A practical tip to avoid the lines for tickets: you can book them directly online.
First Day
After admiring the museum's extraordinary sculptures, head down Via Ricasoli to the Florence Cathedral: climb the dome and observe Brunelleschi's fantastic works up close.
A practical tip: to avoid the lines for tickets, you can book them directly online.
Before leaving Piazza del Duomo, stop to observe the Gates of Paradise of the nearby Baptistery of San Giovanni, considered one of the masterpieces of the Renaissance and created thanks also to the contribution of artists such as Donatello, Luca della Robbia, and Michelozzo.
Next, reach the Church of Santa Croce, the largest Franciscan building in the world, inside which you will find the tombstones of Florence's great and powerful figures such as Michelangelo, Rossini, Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei, and works by immeasurable artists such as Giotto, Gaddi, and Donatello.
To make the most of your last day, start at Palazzo Vecchio, the building that was once the residence and seat of government of the Florentine court.
Its interior is spectacular, and the museum displays works by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, Verrocchio, and many other immortal artists.
The visit is truly worth it! As is Arnolfo's Tower!
Second Day
Once you leave Piazzale degli Uffizi, cross Ponte Vecchio and walk to Piazzale Michelangelo, also known as the balcony of Florence due to the breathtaking view it offers of the city: it is definitely a must-see for tourists and Florentines alike.
Returning to the Ponte Vecchio, you have two options.
1 - Head to the Bargello Museum, the perfect place to admire 14th-16th century Italian sculptures by artists such as Michelangelo, Donatello, Ghiberti, Cellini, Giambologna, Ammannati, and other important sculptors.
2 - Walk along the banks of the Arno River to the Ponte alla Carraia, then take Via dei Fossi to reach the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. One of the most beautiful and important churches in Florence, where you can explore centuries of art history and admire works by Italian Renaissance artists such as Leon Battista Alberti, Masaccio, and Brunelleschi. These masterpieces are perfectly placed in an architectural setting with Gothic features!
