If you\u2019ve always thought that you need at least a full week to visit a beautiful city, read on.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re right: a great city deserves a lot of time to be thoroughly visited and understood. However, it\u2019s also true that you can still savor a place\u2019s atmosphere and most evocative locations in a two-day trip!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Florence is seemingly a small city\u2014\u201dseemingly\u201d being they key word here. It actually holds a whole world of artistic and cultural heritage within its medium-sized city limits. This guide will show you how to make the absolute most out of 2 days in Florence, no matter what you\u2019re looking for.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Get to Florence<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to arriving in Florence<\/a>, you have a couple of options.<\/p>\n

If you decide to fly into Florence, your most convenient option will be to take a taxi from Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci to the city center, so you can start exploring right away. On the other hand, if you reach Florence by train, you won\u2019t need any transport. Santa Maria Novella station lies in the very heart of the city, so if you\u2019re ready to walk, your tour may begin!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on what you want to discover and savor in Florence on your two-day trip, you can either decide to focus on the many museums this city offers or just wander about its narrow alleys\u2026 or both!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Days in Florence: Art & Culture Tour<\/span><\/h2>\n

Can\u2019t imagine visiting Florence without exploring the Uffizi? Does the idea of not visiting the Museo del Bargello make you shudder? If this is the case, organizing a self-guided cultural tour of Florence\u2014including the city’s best museums<\/a>\u2014is your best bet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To save precious time, we suggest booking your tickets for museums and attractions in advance. You can easily do so online on each place’s website. Once you arrive, you\u2019ll have more time to wander and explore instead of waiting in the ticket line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 1: Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, Loggia dei Lanzi, Church of Orsanmichele, & Museo Casa di Dante<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you arrive in the morning, consider visiting Florence\u2019s most famous museum right away. The rooms will be less crowded, and you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the atmosphere at its best. The <\/span>Uffizi<\/span><\/a> deserves to be savored\u2014you\u2019ll want to take your time, and nobody wants to admire da Vinci and Michelangelo\u2019s masterpieces in a hurry.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After your visit\u2014and having enjoyed some food for thought\u2014it will probably be high time to get some food for your stomach. Take an appetizing break in one of the restaurants or sandwich bars that surround the Uffizi, and you\u2019ll shortly be ready to start exploring again!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After lunch, it\u2019s probably not the best idea to visit another museum. You\u2019ll probably start getting a little tired, and Florence\u2019s museums deserve the whole of your attention and concentration. Instead, dedicate your afternoon to a nice walk in Florence\u2019s city center and you\u2019ll discover some of the most precious gems in this city\u2019s crown.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you head north from the Uffizi, in just a few minutes you\u2019ll reach Piazza della Signoria. Towering over it is the imposing <\/span>Palazzo Vecchio<\/span><\/a>, with its wonderful \u201cDavid\u201d statue (a replica of the original) out front. Adjacent to the palazzo, you\u2019ll find the open-air <\/span>Loggia dei Lanzi<\/span><\/a>, where you\u2019ll see famous sculptures such as Benvenuto Cellini\u2019s \u201cPerseus with the Head of Medusa\u201d<\/span> and Giambologna\u2019s \u201cThe Rape of the Sabine Women.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a seasoned cultural traveler, consider visiting the museum at Palazzo Vecchio, but beware! Just as you did for the Uffizi, remember to book your tickets in advance to avoid the lines and save precious time to linger on the Palazzo\u2019s beautiful terrace around aperitivo <\/em><\/a>time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on, you\u2019ll find the <\/span>Church of Orsanmichele<\/span><\/a>, consecrated to St. Michael and emblazoned by sculptures by Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Filippo Brunelleschi and many others. And if you\u2019re not tired yet, pay a visit to the <\/span>Museo Casa di Dante<\/span><\/a>, located in the very house where the world-famous poet lived.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 2: Museo del Bargello & Church of Santa Maria Novella<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

On day two, be sure to start with a visit to the <\/span>Museo del Bargello<\/span><\/a>. Smaller than the Uffizi, this museum is a bona-fide gem, encompassing an incredible richness despite its small location. Just right for Florence itself, isn\u2019t it?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enlightened by some of the Renaissance\u2019s masterworks, such as Donatello\u2019s renowned \u201cDavid\u201d<\/span> and his bas-relief \u201cSt. George Freeing the Princess,\u201d your morning at the Bargello will pass in awe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And after lunch, if you still have some time before your train leaves (or before your taxi leaves for the airport), consider visiting the <\/span>Church of Santa Maria Novella<\/span><\/a> and the beautiful wooden \u201c<\/span>Crucifix\u201d by Giotto. It\u2019s not a coincidence that this is considered the archetypal, harmonious Renaissance church par excellence!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Days in Florence: Self-Guided Walking Tour<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your ideal visit of a city involves wandering around its streets, parks and alleys, rather than just focusing on museums, this might be the right tour for you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 1: Church of Santa Maria Novella, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica, Cathedral, Duomo Museum, Piazza della Signoria, Mercato del Porcellino<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Moving from Santa Maria Novella station, start your tour with a walk in the surrounding area. Eventually you\u2019ll reach the Church of Santa Maria Novella to get your first taste of what Florence has to offer.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider the idea of recovering from your morning of travel in the evocative <\/span>Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella<\/span><\/a>. This beautiful historic pharmacy still operates\u2014both as an elegant pharmacy and a tea room! Here, you can sip every kind of aromatic tea imaginable and buy handmade herbal teas, sweets and chocolates, and perfumes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After your tea (or shopping) break, have a nice walk along Via Panzani. In no time you\u2019ll reach Piazza del Duomo, with its cathedral, baptistery and Giotto\u2019s campanile.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cathedral

If a simple visit inside the cathedral isn\u2019t enough for you, remember that all three of the aforementioned sights are part of the <\/span>Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore<\/span><\/a> complex. This means that, with only one ticket, you\u2019ll be able to visit all three of the aforementioned monuments, as well as the <\/span>Crypt of Santa Reparata<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Opera del Duomo Museum<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Going down Via dello Studio, you\u2019ll easily reach the Museo Casa di Dante and in five minutes you\u2019ll be in Piazza della Signoria. After admiring the medieval skyline of this ancient square, keep walking down Via Vacchereccia and you\u2019ll reach the <\/span>Mercato del Porcellino<\/span><\/a>, one of the most famous leather markets in Florence. Don\u2019t forget to find the bronze boar statue (\u201c<\/span>il porcellino<\/span><\/i>\u201d) that gives the market its name and rub its nose\u2014it\u2019s said to bring good luck!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mercato del Porcellino is surrounded by mouthwatering restaurants and sandwich bars, making it the perfect lunch spot<\/a>. Devote your afternoon to a relaxing walk in Florence\u2019s alleys, entering the various churches you\u2019ll find along the way and savoring the best of the city\u2019s atmosphere.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insider’s Tip:<\/strong> Make time to swing by one of the best restaurants with a view in Florence<\/a> before you leave!<\/p>\n

Day 2: Palazzo Pitti & the Boboli Gardens, Ponte Vecchio, Basilica di San Lorenzo, Laurentian Library, Medici Chapels<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Not sure what to do the next day? This can vary, depending on how much time you have at your disposal before leaving and, maybe surprisingly, on the season you\u2019re traveling.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re visiting Florence in spring or summer, don\u2019t miss the <\/span>Boboli Gardens<\/span><\/a>. As part of the Uffizi museum along with <\/span>Palazzo Pitti<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Corridoio Vasariano<\/span><\/a>, this beautiful city garden is located \u201c<\/span>oltrarno<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u201d\u2014on the opposite bank of the River Arno from the main part of the city center.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gardens

Even if you\u2019re traveling in fall or winter and the weather is just too wet to visit the Boboli Gardens, this part of Florence is still worth your time. Spend your morning wandering through the museums of Palazzo Pitti instead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head across Ponte Vecchio back towards the city center and admire its world-renowned jewelers\u2019 shops. Let the lights and sounds of this fascinating bridge guide you towards the golden world of the jewelers\u2019 age-old craft. It\u2019s not mandatory to purchase anything here, but it is a great way to support local artisans and pick up a cool souvenir while you\u2019re at it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On your way back to the train station (or to the taxi stand), pay a visit to the <\/span>Basilica di San Lorenzo<\/span><\/a>. If you have some free time before leaving, don\u2019t miss the <\/span>Laurentian Library<\/span><\/a>, planned and built by Michelangelo, as well as the <\/span>Medici Chapels<\/span><\/a>. This will be the best final taste of Florence you could dream of!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
