  1. LOVE this list! I haven’t been to Florence in a LONG time, but I agree that these are must see art for the first timers in that city!

    1. Thanks Jin! I tried to piece together a comprehensive checklist for myself before going, didn’t want to miss any biggies 🙂

  2. Niiiice. I can’t wait to return to Italy and explore more! Rome was my first trip there and I know only just gave me a taste for the potential amazingness to be found there. Definitely hope Florence will be one of my destinations in the near future.

    1. Rome is amazing for sure and was my first trip to Italy as well. I was nervous about returning and was foolishly worried about counting countries for a second, but I decided to go because I love art and Italian food. I quickly realized Florence is always a good idea 😉

    Oh wow! I missed out on Florence when I was in Italy (and stupidly stick to just Rome and Milan). Wished I went because the Medici family fascinates me! Did you find the Firenze pass worth it though? Was there a big line in all the museums? I never bought one of those passes, not even in Rome because I thought you can do most things for a little cheaper.

    1. I get a weird kick out of doing things myself cheaper, like a couponing addict lol and I tried my hardest to get all the sites in for cheaper than the Firenze card. With advanced bookings and the online reservation fees, it came out more expensive to do it on my own every time by at least 30 Euro, and that’s taking into account free admission days and discounts. Definitely get it if you’re going to all the sites I listed! Plus you skip the line, so worth it. And the Medici presence is strong in Florence, you’ll love it!

  4. That street art near your Airbnb is so cool! Loving the tips, thanks for a great post. This place has just been added to my must visit places list!

    1. Thanks Nerissa! And that’s just one of many that pop up every day, I was amazed. Florence is great!

  5. What a great list! I think I saw like, 2 of these last time I was in Florence. Clearly I need to bring your list with me next time!

  6. I have seen most of these! I’d love to go back to Florence again just to revisit the art. 🙂

  7. That’s super random for that man to just go off breaking David’s toe lol! Did you enjoy your visit though? I’ve been wanting to check out Florence and obviously its museums too but I remember my visit to Louvre being very… suffocating (?). There were just way too many (rude) tourists and everyone was lining up to taking pictures with the art not to actually enjoy it. I’m worried with these pieces being so famous, I’d end up experiencing the same thing as I did in Louvre.

    1. Haha I suspect he might have had a bigger master plan but was foiled before he could carry it out! I loved my visit <3 I also went in February which helped. Still crowded but walkable, especially if you hit your musts early in the morning or later in the evening. Do go! So worth it. Definitely do NOT go in the summer though 🙂

    I did a couple art history courses and ancient Greek and Roman art courses at school!! So this post is totally cool to me 🙂

    1. Thank you Eryn! I feel the same way, part of the reason I love Europe is because it brings textbooks to life 🙂

    Cool! Italy is really great place! and cool Photography! Thanks for this beautiful article!

  10. OMG.. Birth of Venus is absolutely fantastic!! I never knew it was in Florence!! xx

  11. For me, Italy is the most beautiful country in Europe (maybe in the world). I remember perfectly my sunny holiday in Naples, Venice, Rome…

    1. I feel the same way! It’s not hard to see why tourists flock there, it’s just such a wonderful place to visit <3

  12. Hey,this is one dope thing I got to watch about Italy today. Great work ?

  13. Sounds like there’s a lot to see in Florence. I’ve been to Italy but really just in Rome so I would love to see Florence one day. That Firenze card sounds like a fab idea. Such a great deal and to skip the lines is priceless. Great pictures.

  14. These are all incredible. There are so many places I need to get to thanks to Dan Brown lol.

  15. Wow! You managed to see some great art pieces and sites! How much time were you there to fit it all in?

  16. Love the art work and all the useful information which I will bookmark 🙂 and the Gates of paradise looks magnificent.

  17. Oh my word to go to Florence and see all these works of art would be amazing.

  18. Tahna de Veyra says:

    Orchestra and art. Oh god I’m so jelly right now. hahah! This is awesome. 🙂

  19. So close to art and the work of some great people who lived in this world. History is important and exciting, one can spend a good amount of time looking at these wonderful creations.

  20. Florence is next on my travel plans ! I’ll definitely check this article again when I go !

    Florence is so beautiful. Surprised no one attacked you for taking a photo of the statue haha

  22. Florence is on my bucket list of places to visit and seeing the art is one of the biggest highlights for me. Thanks for all the tips!

    How many of these can be seen from an electric wheelchair?

    1. Quite a few! the cobblestone streets may not be the smoothest ride but the museums are accessible and have elevators. The challenge might be parts of the Duomo due to old construction. Otherwise, highly encourage a trip. Check out my friends site, Curb Free With Cory Lee, for more!
