好脾气懒猫:“The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is truly magnificent. Admission is free, allowing you to experience the grandeur of its interior without having to pay. Tickets can be purchased through the side entrance, bypassing the main entrance line, and include access to the bell tower. However, if you're looking for a panoramic view of Florence from above, you can choose between the dome or Giotto's bell tower, or both. The dome offers a close-up view of the frescoes and panoramic views of the city. The bell tower also offers a fantastic view, allowing you to capture the dome in full photographic space. Both steps are quite demanding, as they are quite long and challenging.”
Opening hours: 08:15-18:30(Tickets available until 17:30)
好脾气懒猫:“The Fitz Art Gallery is truly breathtaking. Its collection is incredibly rich, and you'll find world-famous paintings at every glance! However, there are so many works that you can only see a fraction of them in five hours. If you don't do your research ahead of time, you'll easily get lost. It's also very crowded, and popular exhibition halls are often crowded, so be sure to reserve time in advance and be physically fit. A full day of walking around is exhausting, but it's definitely worth it!
There are a few must-see treasures in the museum, so do your research ahead of time.
1. Botticelli – The Birth of Venus
2. Botticelli – La Primavera
3. Leonardo da Vinci – The Annunciation
4. Michelangelo – Doni Tondo
5. Raphael – Madonna del Cardellino
6. Titian – Venus of Urbino
7. Caravaggio – Medusa
8. Giotto – Maestà Ognissanti
9. Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi – Annunciazione
10. Rembrandt van Rijn – Self-Portrait as an Old Man”
Opening hours: 08:15-18:50 (admission ends at 18:20)
Anonymous user:“Although they are more expensive, these are safe and guaranteed tickets which can be bought on dates when the official tickets are sold out, especially closer to your visit date. We received the online tickets a day before our entry. Entrance was crowded but the staff are helpful to guide you to your designated ticket queue line. Inside the galleria was mildly crowded. The Michelangelo David statue was magnificent and there is ample space for you to admire and take pictures. Overall I would recommend this place.”
Opening hours: 08:15-18:30(Tickets available until 17:30)
陶陶:“The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn't go there”
Opening hours: 09:30-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
fooler0809:“Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.”
_TI***am:“It is more useful to buy a combined ticket instead of buying a separate ticket for the bell tower. You may get out of breath after climbing the narrow stairs, but it is a great experience to see the cupola on the other side and Florence at the same time.”
Tablet666:“The moment I saw Michelangelo's "The Statue of David" was really shocked. The statue was tall but very delicate, with the muscle lines and expressions depicted extremely vividly, both powerful and quiet. Standing in front of the statue, you can clearly feel the tension of the momentum, as if he will move next second. No matter what perspective, it reveals amazing beauty and skills, which makes people stop for a long time. After seeing it, I really understood why it was hailed as the peak of the history of human sculpture.”
Opening hours: 09:00-19:00(Tickets available until 18:00; admission ends at 18:00)
sculptor:“Palazzo Vecchio (Italian for "Old Palace") is the town hall of Florence, Italy. Overlooking Piazza della Signoria, it is the historic centre of Florence and the main site of the origins and history of the Florentine Republic, still maintaining its reputation as the political focal point of the city.”
sculptor:“The Ponte Vecchio in Florence is a famous landmark in Italy. This bridge spans the narrowest point of the Arno River and is believed to have been first built in Roman times. The bridge in Roman times was made of wood. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117, the bridge was rebuilt in stone.”
小鱼儿2015:“The private villa of the Boboli family, a legendary Italian family, covers a huge area and is also a very nice garden landscape in the old town. Many people are maintaining it here and you can visit it from the outside.”

TheForkUser:“Very nice place and atmosphere, negative note being in summer they have only used the outside for dinners and for those who suffer from the heat it is not ideal, round tables too wobbly
Very good food and beautiful presentation”
