The compact historic city of Florence in Italy is located in middle of the Tuscan hills where artists such as Brunelleschi and Michelangelo have left their mark with magnificent buildings and artwork. 

Florence, also known as Firenze, has lots of beautiful Renaissance architecture, monuments, statues, art galleries and museums all of which impress and are loved by many visitors.

In this guide, I will list the top things you should not miss when visiting Florence including tour suggestions.

The Essential Must-See List For Florence 

Ir a Florencia es sumergirse en la historia renacentista de la ciudad, explorando sus numerosos museos y monumentos, recordando a artistas como Leonardo da Vinci y Dante.Alighieri.

Florencia

Florence is a city I've missed ever since I visited. And the more times I go there, the more I love it.

It’s a walkable town, where every corner invites exploration. Beyond the famous art and holy temples, the charm truly lies in wandering the streets, where you might stumble upon hidden gems—undiscovered Tuscan cuisine, or a lonely but influential museum or church. 

Please save and always check on this map and visit any of the cafes, restaurants, museums or parks when you are in a neighbourhood. And I also add small notes for each place so you can quickly find what I like about this place.

Enjoy!
