Our tips

Museums

Uffizi, Accademia, Bargello and the museums you don't expect, almost all a few steps from home.

Eat

Local trattorias, lampredotto and steak: places where people still speak Florentine.

Drink

Coffee at the counter, natural wine downstairs, a cocktail done right.

Walks

Oltrarno, Piazzale Michelangelo, the banks of the Arno. Florence is beautiful early in the morning.

Day trips

Siena, Lucca, Pisa and the hills: eight day trips, back here to sleep.

Shopping

Tea, books, a market and real outlets. No fake bags, no sad souvenirs.
