Florence

Florence earns its reputation through sheer density of extraordinary things. Renaissance art around every corner, medieval towers rising above terracotta rooftops, a river that ties it all together. Catching a Florence bus with FlixBus drops you right into Tuscany without the stress of driving or parking in a city built long before cars existed. Once you arrive, you'll quickly realise there are more things to do in Florence than any single trip can cover, so consider this your starting map.

Historic and religious sites

Florence Cathedral (Duomo) & Brunelleschi's Dome is the undisputed centrepiece of the city's skyline and, frankly, of the entire Renaissance. The cathedral itself is vast and ornate, but it's Filippo Brunelleschi's self-supporting octagonal dome, completed in 1436 without the use of scaffolding, that still baffles engineers today. You can climb the 463 steps to the top for a panoramic view over the city's rooftops, or simply stand in the piazza and crane your neck upward in quiet disbelief.

Basilica di Santa Croce is Florence's Franciscan masterpiece and the burial place of some of Italy's most celebrated figures, including Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli. The interior is lined with elaborate funerary monuments and frescoes by Giotto, making it as much an art gallery as a place of worship. The peaceful cloister attached to the complex offers a rare moment of calm away from the crowds outside.

Florence Baptistery stands directly in front of the Duomo and predates it by centuries, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. Its most famous feature is the set of gilded bronze doors on the east entrance, Lorenzo Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, which Michelangelo reportedly declared worthy of the entrance to heaven itself. The mosaic-covered interior ceiling is equally worth a long, slow look upward.

Museums

Uffizi Gallery is one of the world's great art museums, and no amount of prior knowledge fully prepares you for standing in front of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus or Primavera in person. The collection spans from medieval altarpieces through to late Renaissance and Baroque works, arranged chronologically so you can trace the entire arc of Italian painting in a single visit. Book tickets well in advance. Queues without a reservation can stretch for hours.

Galleria dell'Accademia is where Michelangelo's David lives, and the experience of walking down the long gallery toward the 5.17-metre marble figure is genuinely moving. Beyond the David, the museum holds Michelangelo's unfinished Prisoners series, rough-hewn figures that appear to be struggling free from the stone, which many visitors find even more compelling. Again, pre-booking is essential.

Bargello National Museum is housed in Florence's oldest public building, a 13th-century fortress-turned-prison, and holds what is considered the world's most important collection of Italian Renaissance sculpture. Donatello's bronze David, the first free-standing nude sculpture since antiquity, is here, alongside early works by Michelangelo and intricate bronzes by Benvenuto Cellini. It draws far smaller crowds than the Uffizi, which means you can actually take your time.

Urban landmarks

Ponte Vecchio is Florence's oldest bridge and the only one the retreating German army chose not to destroy in 1944, reportedly on direct orders. Today it's lined with goldsmiths and jewellers whose overhanging workshops have jutted out over the Arno since the 16th century. Walk across it in the early morning before the crowds arrive and it feels like a different city entirely.

Palazzo Vecchio & Piazza della Signoria form the civic heart of Florence, a space that has been the stage for public life and public drama since the 14th century. The palazzo itself is still a working town hall, though much of it is open to visitors, including the grand Salone dei Cinquecento with its enormous ceiling frescoes by Vasari. The piazza outside functions as an open-air sculpture gallery, with copies of famous works positioned exactly where the originals once stood.

Viewpoints and green spaces

Piazzale Michelangelo is the hilltop square that gives you the postcard view of Florence: the Duomo, the Arno, the bridges, the hills beyond, all laid out in one sweeping panorama. It's a steep walk up from the city centre, but the route through the rose garden below is pleasant, and the view at sunset, when the light turns the stone buildings amber, is worth every step.

Palazzo Pitti & Boboli Gardens sit on the south bank of the Arno and offer a completely different pace. The palazzo houses several museums across its vast rooms, but the Boboli Gardens behind it are reason enough to visit. A 16th-century formal garden climbing the hillside, with fountains, grottos, and shaded paths that feel genuinely removed from the city below.

On your first visit or your third, FlixBus is one of the easiest ways to get here. Go ahead and book your seat.
