Top Architecture in Florence

Take a few moments to sit on the nearby steps by the river to soak in the view. It’s a beautiful spot to relax; I missed this the first time around!

Consider visiting early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the massive crowds. I found it peaceful and got some great photos without too many people around.

Bring a good camera or your phone with a decent lens. The light at sunset is incredible, and the views are stunning for photos. I wish I had taken more!

Get there as early as 9 AM to beat the crowds. I arrived around that time and had a much more peaceful experience exploring the stunning architecture.

If you're a fan of history, I suggest downloading an audio guide beforehand. I didn't, and I felt like I missed out on some cool stories about the place!

If you can, try to visit during the early morning, around 8 AM. The light is beautiful for photos and there are fewer people around, making it easier to soak everything in. Trust me, it's worth it.

Grab a coffee or snack in one of the nearby cafes after your visit. I found a lovely spot just a few minutes away that had great local pastries

I recommend booking your tickets online in advance to skip the long lines. I didn't do this and wasted a good chunk of time waiting.
