Want to know some of the standout things to do in Florence? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. Be Dazzled by the Duomo
In a city packed with awe-inspiring architecture, the Duomo stands out – quite literally! Its scale is only matched by its beauty.
2. Book a Date with David
Housed in the Accademia, Michelangelo's infamous sculpture is unquestionably one of the world's most important works of art. Nothing can quite prepare you for the sheer flawlessness of it.
3. Check out the City's Central Market
The hustle and bustle of the city's lovely old 19th-century covered market, the Mercato Centrale, is a delight. It's also the perfect place to get acquainted with that most Italian of obsessions – food and drink.
4. Rub a Lucky Pig
Head to another of the city's markets – the Mercato Nuovo – and rub the snout of the wild boar (known as 'Il Porcellino') that stands there. It's good luck, apparently.
5. Grab a Glass of Chianti
Tuscany is most famous for its Chianti (which perhaps explains the price in some places...) But really, if you're looking for something to wash down the wonderful game on the menu or the exquisite bruschetta, practically anything would do.
