It once served as the Medici family's office and today hosts art by Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, and more.

- Basilica of Santa Croce: Dating back to the 13th century, this basilica is the final resting place of famous Florentines such as Galileo, Dante, Machiavelli, and Michelangelo. Keep an eye out for the beautiful frescoes and stained glass windows.
- While it's not completely clear which the oldest building in Italy is, historians consider San Miniato al Monte to take this title. Construction is said to have begun back in the year 1013 under Bishop Alibrando and Henry II. A lot of the architecture and interiors we see today date back to the 12-13th centuries. Its stunning Romanesque design makes it one of the most picturesque basilicas in Italy.
- The tower of Palazzo Vecchio stands at 95 meter height, making it the tallest in the city. Called Tower of Arnolfo as a tribute to the landmark's chief architect Arnolfo di Cambio. Visitors can climb up to the top of the tower and soak in scenic views of Florence. Entry to the tower lies from within the Palazzo Vecchio.
- While the exact numbers are unknown, the Florence Duomo and Uffizi Gallery are considered to be the busiest landmarks in the city. In 2019, the Uffizi Gallery is said to have been visited by over 2 million visitors, while the Duomo received a whopping footfall of about 4.5 million visitors.
- The 5 landmarks you cannot miss out while in Florence are:
- Duomo Florence and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
- Baptistery of St. John
- Uffizi Palace and Gallery
- San Lorenzo and Michelangelo's Medici Tombs
- Basilica of Santa Croce
- Apart from the famous landmarks, here are some gems that are often overlooked in Florence:

- Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy: Dating back to the year 1221, this unusual place was where the first modern perfume was created for Catherine de Medici. It holds about 800 ancient recipes for medicines and perfumes.
- Torrigiani Garden: One of the largest private gardens in Europe, the Torrigiani Gardens are a must-visit. Spread across 17 acres, they feature impeccably-maintained flora reminiscent of a classic English garden.
- La Specola: Part of the Museum of Natural History, La Specola holds the largest collection of wax anatomical figures. Ranging from extinct species to animals and humans, La Specola receives surprisingly low footfall despite its fascinating exhibits.
- Cimitero delle Porte Sante: Soak in breathtaking views of Florence from a cemetery! Dating back to the 1800s, this cemetery is not just the resting space for Florentines, but it also houses several beautiful sculptures and artwork, making it worth a visit.

- Florence is one of the most-visited cities in Italy and one can almost always expect long lines at its landmarks. The best way to save time and walk past the long waiting lines is by opting for skip-the-line tickets. With these, you enjoy direct entry into the landmark. Enjoy skip-the-line entry with Uffizi Gallery tickets, Duomo Florence tickets, Accademia Gallery tickets, Palazzo Vecchio tickets, Palazzo Pitti tickets, and Leaning Tower of Pisa tickets.
- Florence's most-visited tourist attractions are located around the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, right in the heart of the city. All the following attractions are within a 2 km radius by walk.
- Piazza della Signoria - 400 m
- Uffizi Gallery - 500 m
- Bargello National Museum - 500 m
- Palazzo Vecchio - 500 m
- Accademia Gallery - 550 m

- Since most of the popular tourist attractions in Florence are located close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the best way to cover them all is to simply walk around from Point A to B and C. You can easily get from one end of the city to another in less than 40 minutes. The other option is boarding an ATAF bus and visiting the landmark of your choice. Tickets for a one-way trip are only €1.50. Opting for a car or taxi is impractical since they are not allowed in the city center and Florence's narrow, one-way streets make it difficult to drive through.

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!!
There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away.
Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously.
Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

Most impressive was the fact that with all the tourists there that day we were still able to get in an hour earlier than our tickets stated.
We were impressed how well the crowds moved throughout the museum. We were able to see everything and it was tremendous, as anticipated.The The staff, when asked questions in English, were always accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable

Everything about the museum was amazing, I'm glad we did not skip it during our trip. The room of geographical maps was my favorite exhibit.

Despite the crowds, the time slots allow you not to queue.
All the attendants really nice, except one really rude and arrogant blond lady. Maybe it was an off day.

A find to have found a museum to see with my own eyes the most beloved stringed instruments Amati and Stradivarius! In addition to Michelangelo's David which is obviously the main attraction.
