Travel well, from day one
Best time to visit Florence
April to June and September to October.
Holiday weekends and major events can change prices and crowds. Check local calendars before settling on your dates.
Getting around
Walk the compact centre; a car adds little value and restricted traffic zones complicate access.
A taste of Florence
Try ribollita, a Tuscan bread-and-vegetable soup, or a lampredotto sandwich.
Make your budget go further
Compare the full trip cost, including transport, meal plans and attraction tickets—not just the nightly price. Mix ticketed sights with neighborhood walks and public spaces, and check official attraction sites for current prices.
Taxes and mandatory property fees included in totals
Before you go
How should I plan my first visit to Florence?
Start with Uffizi Gallery, then group nearby sights together rather than crossing the city repeatedly. The three-day outline above leaves time for meals and exploring; adjust it for your pace and opening days.
What should I book in advance?
Reserve accommodation once your dates are settled, and check official sites for popular attractions, performances and timed-entry tickets. Opening hours, access rules and seasonal programs may change; this guide does not confirm availability.
What should I check before traveling?
Check passport and entry requirements with the destination's government, current travel advisories, weather, accessibility and travel insurance. Confirm airport transport and the property's check-in details before departure.
Planning inspiration, not real-time schedules or travel advice from an official authority. Confirm practical details with local transport operators and attraction websites.
