What travellers are saying
- LouProsper, TX26 contributionsStreet food, restaurant, wine and souvenirs give you something to do while waiting for sunset. We were also entertained by a street musician while sitting on the steps looking over the city. Lovely afternoon walk up to the Piazzale also provide opportunities for more photo opportunities.Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travelbugSouth Carolina146 contributionsWonderful gallery with all the iconic artwork of the great masters. One of the best museum tours we have taken in Europe as far as crowds go. Most are so crowded that you really can’t enjoy the experience.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike I7 contributionsOur guide was amazing. Her knowledge of history was amazing. The tour was well paced and gave everyone time to absorb the surroundings. The emotional reaction to The Last Supper was surprising but inspiring.Written 17 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Guadalupe Bravo Jr.Austin, TX3 contributionsThe statue of David is something everyone should see. It is truly amazing. Our guide Galya was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. You can tell she really enjoys her job. She deserves recognition for her dedication 👍Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kissanePerth, Australia932 contributionsThe upstairs food hall is worth a visit - a great place for a quick lunch, with a large assortment of offerings, mostly pretty authentic. I used it a couple of times and enjoyed my food. Wandering waiters will take drink orders for you and deliver the drinks (for neo extra charge). If you're enjoying Florence and don't want to take the time it does to sit down in a restaurant, this is a good choice and is centrally located. Unlike restaurants, there is no cover charge, too. ;-)Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cathy LToronto, Canada230 contributionsPiazza del Duomo is definitely one of the top attractions in Florence.
The square was bustling with tourists, as expected, and I noticed that restaurants and cafes around the piazza charge a bit of a premium due to the location. However, there are plenty of options nearby if you’re looking for something more affordable.
I was amazed by the sheer number of visitors, all waiting patiently to enter the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. Besides the cathedral, the Bell Tower, the Baptistery, and numerous shops and cafés make it a vibrant public space worth visiting.Written 23 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This can’t be help to be admired .Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jar399Los Gatos, CA55 contributionsThe history in Santa Croce is simply amazing. Our guide Dan Harper (family friend) —an expat from the States—was absolutely priceless.
You can reach him at: danharperflorence@gmail.com.
From the tombs and the incredible journey of this church to the stories of Galileo, Michelangelo, Dante, and the Medici family, the experience was unforgettable. Dan’s knowledge of every nook and cranny, every fascinating coincidence, and even the friars who shaped its history made the tour come alive.
The 2.5-hour tour was a true highlight of our trip. And as a bonus, Dan’s local restaurant recommendations were ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, all on a ⭐️⭐️ budget.
Highly recommend!Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Literally flanking it are several artisanal shops and some jewelry stores.Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amy S19 contributionsYOU HAVE TO VISIT PALAZZO VECCHIO!! Honestly the outside is so pretty but the inside is breathtakingly beautiful! The staff were very friendly and really helpful as I have to use a walking stick and the lifts are in a closed off section they allow you through. The architecture is just so incredible it's worth every penny, you can get round in an hour but I could of easily spent all day here!Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ratana G1 contributionGreat place on a rainy day if you’ve got kids/toddlers to entertain. Was worried it wouldn’t be all that interactive for our 19month old but there was plenty for her to interact with. Would highly recommend.Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,612 contributionsCampanile di Giotto was constructed in the 14th century. The person responsible for its building was the artist Giotto whose name the tower bears. It's a beautiful building and the views from the top are absolutely wonderful, provided you can climb the 414 steps up the tower and then go down the same way! It's much easier than it might sound!Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
