Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

November 3, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Piazza Santo Spirito

This unique Florentine piazza is the center of the artisan quarter. Dominated by the last masterpiece of Brunelleschi, the Basilica of Santo Spirito, the square is home to little local markets and antique fairs.

Piazza Santo Spirito is my favorite square in Florence- local farmer/artisan markets at least a few times a week, great restaurants, cafes, plus it has a water fountain and trees!

Giardino Bardini

Reviewed By sophiem923 - Ermenonville, France

The garden was recommended by a guide book and it did not disappoint. It is quite simply the most beautiful view on Florence. Definitely worth the climb. I was able to get some fresh air despite the heat. Do not miss this hidden gem!

Chiesa di Santa Monica

Reviewed By SeleneF116 - Prato, Italy

I visited Florence in March and among the numerous monuments and churches and streets and palaces that are the artistic heart of this wonderful city, I had the occasion to assist at one of Italian Opera Concert in St. Monaca church. The church is also amazing, with a wonderful renaissance ligneus chorus and many wall pictures of the same period, but what impressed me was the great, wonderful, possent and sensitive voices I had the pleasure to hear: a soprano and a bassbaritone of clear fame that interpreted the most beautiful arias and duets of Italian Opera by Verdi, Puccini, Bellini and Donizetti. Really very very amazing. I hope you all could participate at one of Italian Opera Florence concert!!!
