Discover top Places to visit in Florence

Florence, Italy is not only the capital of Tuscany, but one of Italy's most famed-
-and most visited--cities. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and
architecture and monuments.

The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi
Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art,
culture and politics. The delicious food, accessible day trips, beautiful
architecture, fascinating history, and the endless number of things to do in
Florence all work together to leave us permanently enthralled with the city.
Here we list the top Places of Florence where you must visit on your trip.

List of top Places of Florence:

1. Duomo

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (known simply as the Duomo) is not
only Florence's religious center; it's also the city's most recognizable
attraction.

Occupying the Piazza del Duomo in the heart of the city, this massive Gothic
cathedral was erected during the 14th century on the former site of the
Roman church, Santa Reparata. Here you see the church's massive, iconic
dome.
2. Ponte Vecchio

This bridge does get packed with tourists, but it really is a special place that
you should experience once. It is believed that it was originally built in Roman
times, but the Ponte Vecchio that you see now was built in 1345. It has always
housed tiny shops, and now jewelry, especially gold, is sold behind beautiful

old shop doors. The views from the bridge at sunrise and sunset are not to be
missed.
3. Giotto’s Bell Tower

Florence’s famous Duomo has two options for climbing if you’re looking for an
incredible view over Florence, and the less-touristed option is our personal
preference.Climbing Giotto’s Bell Tower ensures that not only you get an
amazing view of Florence itself, you also get a close-up view of the famous
cupola–it’s hard to admire the iconic structure when you’re standing on it!
4. Galleria dell’Accademia

The Galleria dell’Accademia is much smaller and essentially exists to show off
one piece of artwork: Michelangelo’s magnificent David in all his glory, housed
in a room built especially for the statue! There is not much else to see in the
gallery, so you won’t need a terribly long time here, but be sure to check out
some of Michelangelo’s unfinished statues that are in the museum.
