You could spend a whole day here — don’t miss seeing Sophie’s favorite painting, Primavera by Botticelli!

Most famous for being the home of David, this gallery has an incredible sculpture collection.

This one is hard to miss, but can’t go without mentioning! Walk up to the top of the Duomo or the Bell Tower to get your steps in! If you hike the Bell Tower, you’ll be able to get a great shot of the cathedral!

Perfect for espresso lovers like us! Learn about the history and evolution of espresso machines or attend a coffee tasting.

A museum that celebrates Italian style, what could be better!

Located across the river from the hustle and bustle, the Pitti Palace and attached Boboli Gardens are the perfect place to fill an afternoon.

Take a walk up to this famous spot to get a priceless view of the city. It’s a great place to catch sunset, but don’t forget comfortable shoes! There are a lot of steps up :)

Shop the market on the bottom floor, or head upstairs to grab a bite to eat! There are various food stalls with different options, so you’ll be sure to find whatever you’re craving.

Pop over to Florence’s quieter Oltrarno neighborhood for a cozy, contemporary-yet-classic Florentine meal.

A frequently visited spot when Sophie studied abroad, the food and location make for the perfect meal!

A reliable coffee and pastry spot with lots of locations dotted around Florence.

Visit what is considered to be one of the oldest “pharmacies”  in the world. Don’t expect to find medicines here, though — they sell fragrances, skincare, and things for the home!

Tuscany is known for its leather and artisans, Il Bisonte is the perfect example of both! One of the best leather shops in Florence.

The Ponte Vecchio is a must-see while in the city and is lined with jewelry, art, and souvenir shops.

Known as “the poet of steaks,” Dario Cecchini is a famous butcher in Panzano. He has been featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table (one of our favorite shows)!

In the center of Panzano, dine under the wisteria and enjoy a classic Tuscan meal.

Enjoy a wine tasting and lunch at Il Palagio di Panzano’s vineyard, which is a short walk from the town center.
