Top 10 things to do in Florence

1. Visit the Duomo (and go inside, there’s so much prettiness in there too!)
2. Hike to the Piazzale Michelangelo (also written as Piazzale Michelangiolo) and reward yourself with panoramic view of Florence, there are many roads that lead to the square and if you’re not feeling like hiking you can always take the bus
3. Get to know the real and instagrammable Florence, check out Piazza Santo Spirito in the Oltrarno area. The neighborhood is also known as Santo Spirito and is the historic district of Florence
4. Make sure you have some space in your suitcase when you come to Florence. Whenever you’re tired of seeing all the pretty buildings, churches and squares and studying shopping might be a welcome distraction. Go shopping in the San Lorenzo Market and Mercato Centrale for groceries or lovely souvenirs or go shopping in the Baberino Designer outlet half an hour out of Florence.
5. Attend a cooking class to learn how to prepare a typical Tuscan dish and impress your friends and family back home with your new cooking skills.
6. Visit one of the world’s famous art museum, the Uffuzi Gallery. Here you can admire important works from the Renaissance. Works from artists as Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo are there for the public to see.
7. Book a wine tasting with your new friends
8. Explore Italy’s Tuscany region more by going on day trips to Pisa, Chianti or Siena.
9. Visit Cinque Terre! This is not located in the Tuscany region but it’s definitely worth to go here. From Florence you can take a regional train to La Spezia, from where you can change to a local train or go by boat to Cinque Terre.
10. Do research to which gelato shop has the best gelato. Advantage: much ice cream! Bonus tip: you could also research the best pizza and pasta places ;)
