Florence in three days
Three days is the ideal length: all the highlights, several museums, the Oltrarno district and a day trip into Tuscany. All times are guideline figures.
Days 1 and 2, the core route
The first two days follow the tried-and-tested plan: Duomo and Uffizi Gallery, then David, Oltrarno and the view.
Day 3, going deeper and beyond the city
In the morning, the Bargello Museum and Santa Croce; in the afternoon, a trip to Fiesole, Siena or Pisa, see day trips.
Frequently asked questions
Are 3 days enough for Florence?+
Yes, three days are ideal for a first visit, all the major sights, several museums, the Oltrarno district and even half a day in Tuscany, without rushing.
What's worth doing as a Tuscany day trip?+
Fiesole for a short trip by bus, Siena or Pisa by train, or a guided tour into the Chianti region. Details in the day trips guide.
Should museum visits be spread out?+
Yes. Put the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery on different days with pre-booked time slots, and pair each with nearby sights you can visit spontaneously, this avoids museum fatigue and queues.
