Getting to know a city while we are short on time can be a real challenge, especially in a place like Florence, where there is so much to see and discover. If you only have 24 hours to explore this fantastic Italian metropolis, read on and find out everything you can do in Florence in 1 day.
Location matters a lot from the first moment you arrive in Florence, if you start your tour being on the outskirts of the city, then you will waste a lot of time walking or by bus trying to get to the most popular areas.
Our advice is that your walk to get to know Florence in 1 day starts in the city center, between the old and new parts. This way you can easily locate yourself, and it will be easier to go from one place to another.
Similarly, you should have realistic expectations of what you will be able to see in just 24 hours. If you try to see everything, you probably end up stressed and feeling like you didn’t really get to know anything.
So get ready, have your trusted map handy, and discover everything you need to know to take advantage of your day trip to the capital of Tuscany.
This beautiful city is famous for its fabulous museums and incredible art galleries, however, if you only have one day, it is not recommended that you try to visit the large exhibitions. Going through them, and above all appreciating them, can take a long time. But do not worry! There are still many options and many places to see.
To start your tour of Florence in 1 day, head to Piazza de la Señoria. The place is like an open-air museum, and you will see wonderful sculptures made by renowned Florentine artists and such important buildings as the Palazzo Vecchio.
There you can also take a picture next to the equestrian statue of Cosimo I, the Grand Duke of Florence who modernized the city during his tenure.
Then, you can go to Ponte Vecchio, which is very close to the Plaza de la Señora. There you will appreciate the hanging houses of the bridge, and you will see all the social life that happens between the routes of the famous Old Bridge of Florence.
If you are one of those who does not want to miss the experience of passing through the most famous art gallery in Italy, you have the option of walking through the Piazzale degli Uffizi. This square is located right in front of the well-known Uffizi Gallery, and there are also exhibited various sculptures and works of art.
To conclude the walk while you relax and have a coffee, go to the Republic Square, the heart of the commercial and social life of Florence.
Although it seems incredible, there is something called Florence Syndrome, which affects travelers who go to the city, and who feel that they are not appreciating it correctly or that they are not seeing the most important thing.
To avoid this feeling of anxiety, the best thing you can do is take things easy, visit the places you can, take beautiful pictures, walk wherever you want and enjoy a delicious dessert in one of its wonderful cafes.
Knowing Florence in 1 day is a wonderful experience, and if you do it following our itinerary, rest assured that you will enjoy it more than you think.
