Visit program for one day

If you are in Florence for one day of sightseeing, we propose the program below, which will let you have an overview of the richness of the city. Note that the order of the visits takes the opening hours of the various monuments into account.

 

At the start of the day, go to Piazza della Signoria to discover the monuments that border it, in particular the Loggia dei Lanzi.

 

Then visit the Uffizi Gallery (Galleria degli Uffizi), devoting yourself to rooms 2 to 15, with a more thorough stop in rooms 10 to 14 in order to fully appreciate the paintings of Botticelli. Reservation of the tickets and of the time slot is strongly recommended.

 

Continue with the Palazzo Vecchio – exterior and interior – because beneath a severe appearance it hides the richness and the magnificence of its interior arrangement.

 

You can then discover the church of Orsanmichele (Via dei Calzaiuoli), which is near the Duomo (cathedral), to discover its interior and exterior.

 

Then go to the Duomo (Piazza del Duomo) to visit the cathedral of Florence and its Baptistery, also located on the square.

 

End the day by going to the river Arno and its famous Ponte Vecchio.
