Logistics Tips
70 Trip Score

"This itinerary offers a well-organised walking exploration of Florence's main sights in the city centre but has significant scheduling gaps and a crucial timing flaw for its stated sunset goal."

Pro Tip: For public transport in Florence, such as buses to Piazzale Michelangelo, purchase ATAF bus tickets (Biglietto urbano) beforehand from tabaccherie (tobacconists), newsagents, or ticket machines at major stops. Validate your ticket immediately upon boarding the bus.
