Trips to Florence
Good to know
Do Florence churches need covered shoulders?
Florence Cathedral and the churches on this route ask for covered shoulders and knees. A shawl in the day bag covers everyone in turn.
Where is the best view of Florence?
Piazzale Michelangelo, reached on foot after the Uffizi, looks across the river to the cathedral dome. San Miniato al Monte sits a short climb above it.
How long to spend at the Uffizi with a family?
Two morning hours along the top-floor corridor and the Botticelli rooms is enough to hold attention before the walk up the hill.
Is the Antipope tomb worth a stop?
The Tomb of Antipope John XXIII by Donatello and Michelozzo stands inside the Baptistery and takes under an hour to see.
Do I need to book Uffizi and Accademia tickets in advance?
Both galleries run timed entry and are heavily booked in May; booking ahead keeps the morning and evening slots this itinerary depends on.
How long do Boboli Gardens and Palazzo Pitti take together?
Plan on the full morning, about four hours; the palace rooms lead into the gardens, so the two visits flow as one.
