6 things I would absolutely do again if I was planning my Florence itinerary. 🇮🇹 Wait for the end for the best gelato I’ve had in Italy.

• Piazzale Michelangelo — go an hour before the sun sets for a good spot and watch the most beautiful city sunset I’ve seen in Europe.

• Uffizi Gallery — wander through centuries of Renaissance masterpieces.

• Duomo — iconic & show-stopping. Don’t skip this.

• Guided Walking tour — Florence is a great place to do a structured walking tour because it is truly a living museum. Use @ricksteveseurope free app or pay a local guide.

• Galleria dell’Accademia — stand before Michelangelo’s David. It is actually overwhelming.

• Gelateria dei Neri — the best gelato I’ve had in Italy. Seriously.

Save this for your next Florentine escape. 🤍

Follow along for the places worth lingering over, the experiences worth seeking out, and the European itineraries worth saving.

That is a Florence list I can sign off on, especially Piazzale Michelangelo an hour before sunset, that is exactly how it should be done. And overwhelming is the right word for the David in person. Which gelato flavor at dei Neri won you over?

Anywhere else you’d add to this must-do Florence list?

Highly recommend climbing the bell tower in Florence to see that beautiful Duomo facade from all angles.

Don’t worry…..there are definitely other things I’d recommend doing in Florence. But these are my non-negotiables.
