Florence

How to spend one day in Florence as interesting as possible?

Of course, one day in Florence is very small, and we recommend spending at least 2-3 days here. But how to spend this day as efficiently and interestingly as possible?

Consider the real situation and plan from my practice, for example, a trip from Rome to Florence for one day.

Imagine that you are relaxing in Rome, you have a hotel or apartment booked there, and having looked at the main attractions of the Eternal City, you want to get to know Florence.

You will find it useful:

How to get there

We leave Rome by the morning Italotreno or Trenitalia high-speed train and in an hour and a half we are already at the Santa Maria Novella station in the city center, from where it is close at hand to all the main attractions.

See instructions:

  • How to get to Florence from Rome
  • high-speed trains ItaloTreno
  • How to get to Florence from Milan

Of course, you can just walk around Florence all day on your own, but if you can, it will be logical to order individual excursions.

Five attractions that everyone should see:

  1. Giotto's bell tower
  2. Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori
  3. Ponte Vecchio Bridge
  4. Uffizi Gallery
  5. Baptistery of St. John the Baptist

A local resident, a professional guide in love with the city will always show you the right places, save time and take care of you. And after a walk around the city and excursions, you can dine in my favorite restaurant and return to Rome.

Daily schedule

Your ideal one-day schedule in Florence looks something like this:

  • Around 9:30, having slept and having breakfast, we leave Rome;
  • Around 11:00 arrival in Florence at the Santa Maria Novella station, we meet with the guide;
  • From 11 to 14 a sightseeing tour of the main attractions or a gastronomic adventure;
  • From 14 to 14-30 a light lunch;
  • from 14:30 to 17 excursion to the Uffizi Gallery;
  • from 18 to 20 dinner in a delicious restaurant;
  • Around 21-00 we leave back to Rome.

I will be glad to answer your questions in the comments.
