Piazza della Signoria
24/7
Florence's political heart, an open-air gallery where the Medici once flexed their power. Look for the "Neptune Fountain"—locals call it "Il Biancone" (the big white guy).
Don't miss
Behind the statue of Hercules, find the "L'Importuno," a profile supposedly carved by Michelangelo on a dare.
15:33
Fontana del Porcellino
24/7
A bronze boar that has become a symbol of luck. Legend says if you rub his snout and a coin falls through the grate, you'll return to Florence.
Located at the edge of Mercato Nuovo.
16:19
Ponte Vecchio
24/7
The only bridge in Florence spared during WWII, famous for its overhanging jewelry shops. It was originally home to butchers until the smell bothered the Grand Duke.
Don't miss
Look up to see the Vasari Corridor windows, the secret passage of the Medici.
17:55
Piazzale Michelangelo
24/7
The ultimate panoramic terrace. It offers a postcard view of the Duomo and the Arno that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Grab a gelato nearby and wait for the golden hour.
19:23
San Miniato al Monte
Until 20:00
A stunning Romanesque basilica perched even higher than the Piazzale. It’s one of the few places where you can still hear monks chanting in Gregorian style. Оф. сайт: San Miniato al Monte
Don't miss
Check the floor for the 13th-century zodiac marble inlay.
