Enjoy a quiet morning at piazza della Repibblica with coffee & pastries from Gilli. Sit outside for the full experience and watch the vendors sell everything from cured meats to fresh dip
The highlight of the piazza is Loggia dei Lanzi: used in 1382 to hold public ceremonies. Today, it's like an open air art museum with many interesting statues.
Look all around the bridge, you'll find couples locking their love with locks engraved with their names!
One of the best places in Boboli Gardens. Sit, relax & enjoy the view, you paid for it!
The view of Firenze is unobstructed & amazing, especially during sunset. Pack light, walk up. There's a vendor that sells wine & beer.
Thursday night open late, Strozzina (contemporary section) free from 6-11pm! Great place not just for exhibits but to hang in the courtyard (free wifi), cafe' or bookstore.
Check out the acrobatic display of thousands of birds returning to Santa Maria Novella at dusk.
Get the Fiorentina pizza: substitute regular for buffalo mozzarella! You won't forget it! Finish with the tiramisu and a Birra from Lucca!
There's one room in this museum that just takes your breath away: Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" & "Spring." I'd spend 50% of my time in this room :)
Often the venue of one off events such as Xmas Market (dec) or chocolate fair (feb) the piazza has a great spot for coffee or a drink outside in the north west corner: Ceasar's bar. Nice view!
From this main square, walk past the duomo uphill on Via San Francesco for an amazing sunset view! Or wonder up on Via Panoramico (opposite way)
You've climbed up to a lookout over all of Firenze. Stick around for Sunset and see the world in a different light!
