Florence Guides: One Day, Firenze Card, Vasari Corridor
Guides to planning Florence: one day or an itinerary, things to do, tip-based walking tours, the Firenze Card, the Vasari Corridor, Boboli and the best time.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Florence?
The 1991-2020 climate averages and the region's visitor counts for 2024 and 2025, month by month: when it is hot, when it rains, when most visitors stay, which days the museums close and when the state museums are free.
Read guide →Boboli Gardens: Tickets, Hours and the Paths Through It
The garden behind Palazzo Pitti: 2026 prices and passes, the hours month by month, the Mondays it closes, the free days, what stands where on the hillside and what is under restoration, and the guided tour that pairs it with the Palatine Gallery.
Read guide →Is the Firenze Card Worth It in 2026?
€85 for 72 hours from the first museum you enter, one visit to each. The museums it covers, the five you must still book, why the Duomo and the buses are extra, and the 2026 ticket prices that decide whether it pays.
Read guide →Map of Florence's Sights and the Tours That Cover Them
The sights on both banks of the Arno, about 2 km apart at most: what each needs in 2026, whether free, a ticket or a booked slot, the page of this site that covers it, where golf carts may go, and how to get around.
Read guide →Florence in One Day
The centre is small enough to walk, so the limit is the three places that want a booked time: the David at the Accademia, the Uffizi and Brunelleschi's dome. What to book first, an order that fits the 2026 opening hours, what to leave for another day, and what changes on a Monday or a Sunday.
Read guide →A Florence Itinerary for Two or Three Days
Two days fit the three bookings that need a time, with the free centre around them. A third crosses the river to the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, or leaves the city for Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. Each day's bookable piece is on its own page, and the day trip's calendar is under Day 3.
Read guide →Free Walking Tours in Florence Are Tip-Based
Booking a free walking tour costs nothing, and at the end you pay the guide what you think the walk was worth. How Tour-Tale and GuruWalk describe their walks, the licence and headset rules every guide in Florence works under, and how tip-based walks compare with the fixed-price walks.
Read guide →Piazzale Michelangelo and How to Get Up There
A free public square on the hill south of the Arno. The walk up from Porta San Niccolò, bus 12 from the station, the e-bike tours and licensed shuttles that stop there, San Miniato al Monte's hours and sung vespers, and the Rose Garden below the square.
Read guide →Ponte Vecchio: The Bridge, Its Shops and the Corridor Above
The bridge of goldsmiths' shops over the Arno, free to walk across: why it is famous, how it came through 1944, the rule that keeps it for jewellers, what the marks on gold mean, the corridor overhead, and how walks, bikes, carts and boats meet it.
Read guide →Things to Do in Florence, Sorted by Ticket
Florence's sights fall into three groups: free, pay at the door, and three that in practice need a booked time, the Accademia, the Uffizi and Brunelleschi's dome. Each with its 2026 price and closing day, the tours that cover it, and the city rules visitors are expected to know.
Read guide →How to Visit the Vasari Corridor
Since it reopened in December 2024 the corridor is sold only with an Uffizi ticket or as a supplement, and walked one way from the Uffizi over Ponte Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti in groups of 25 with two museum staff. Prices, hours, the timing rules, Friday evenings to 20 November 2026, and the Uffizi tour that books it for you.
