Religious Sites in Florence

We booked tickets for Santa Croce at the last minute - about 30 minutes before walking in - while eating lunch in the area and knowing we had extra time to visit this church. So glad we visited! Beautiful, historic church featuring the graves of many famous Florentines. Plus, an important church for the city of Florence in an important civic neighborhood. Easy to purchase tickets, ready in time for our visit. Perfect last minute choice.

Santa Croc was so much more than I expected. I would have missed a lot without the Audio. I wasn't sure which way to go, as no direction advice in Audio, but I picked up a site map on the way in and found everything. A must see in Florence, fascinating history, background information on the Audio to set each area in place and time.

I recommend everyone to get a skip-the-line ticket for any monument. Even more recommended to book entry at an early morning time on the early: at 9:30 a.m. find 0 (zero) people in line!

There was a long line to enter the museum, but it was not a problem for travelers. We purchased an audio guide and learned a lot about the history, which was a valuable experience. I would have learned more if there had been a Japanese option for the audio language. My only regret is that it would have cost too much to visit all the structures.
