One of the top things to do in Florence is to stroll through the historic streets taking in the famous sights like the Basilica di Santa Croce, the Piazzale Michelangelo, and the Battistero.
Of course, visitors shouldn’t miss Florence's iconic cathedral, the Duomo, and climbing its bell tower for a stunning view of the city. From here, head to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the greatest Renaissance art galleries in the world. Other places to visit in Florence include the Loggia dei Lanzi, the Giotto’s bell tower, the Boboli Gardens, and the Medici Chapel. Plus, you can tour the Palazzo Pitti and its beautiful interiors.
