Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The galleries path is well marked, and I appreciated the information in English! It is mostly sculptures and religious art. Definitely take time at the rooftop terrace for lunch. You have to make your appointment for entry ahead of time. It’s included with the Firenze card .

    Words cannot express how beautiful the statue of David is. The dome above him was built just for him. There are additional unfinished statues by Michelangelo as you enter David’s room. The artwork is beautiful and there is a music room with rare instruments-including a Stradivarius violin.

    The outside of the church on the piazza is so pleasant and beautiful, even in the rain. The respite inside, with the glorious altar and warm candle glow, is comforting. Spent less than an hour inside but if you’re a church buff (or Catholic), it’s worth taking in a service.

    Must do if you’re visiting Florence: the basilica is the burial place of many famous names. There are some Giotto’s paintings and two beautiful cloisters . Also, the “ Christ on the cross “ by Cimabue (1200) which was damaged by the flood in 1966 . The cappella dei Pazzi ( famous Florence family) is also part of this wonderful place. A very interesting visit

    Go and have breakfast here!

    This market is full of lovely produce and upstairs are eateries with delicious local foods. Well priced and lovely for breakfast or lunch. Breakfast for 4 with drinks and patisseries cost around €20, which for Florence is excellent. Enjoy!

    The Pitti Palace is home to several museums such as the Palatine Gallery, the Modern Art Gallery, a silver gallery and a costume gallery. The Boboli Gardens is also known as the ‘green lung’ of Florence. The impressive gardens are open everyday and will set you back about € 7,00.

    I think this was my favorite place in Florence. The number of great pieces was simply outstanding. It has several pieces by Donatello, including a wooden sculpture of Mary Magdalene.

    Stunning architectural building full of sculptures, paintings and antiquities of centuries ago from Florence. Quieter than the other museums and cool to sit out of the heat and hustle and bustle of the city. A must visit for sure.

    Absolutely beautiful church. Amazing paintings in the cloisters and the Uccello’s inside are worth the visit alone!
    A bit confused by entrance, and initially queued at the wrong location, but as I had prebooked a ticket discovered entry was quick and easy from the Station side.
    Will definitely return!

    Fra Angelico's works here are sensational! It is quite an experience to climb the former monastery stairs, turn sharp right and be suddenly confronted by his Annunciation scene (so make sure you go up to the first floor!). Definitely worth spending 9 euros to wander this museum after visiting the basilica next door. The setting around the former cloisters is serene and peaceful, without the crowds that jostle you in the Uffizi.

    What a great experience! Ugh and I can’t remember the host who conducted our tasting! Sorry! It was top notch. Much more time and attention to the wines than we expected. A beautiful venue and the history of the owners was interesting. It’s an indoor/outdoor tour so hopefully weather is as good as ours!

    Wonderful place for history, art, and contemplation. There is the cathedral, museum, and grounds that are all well worth exploring.

    Completed in the 12th century, the Florence Baptistery is believed to be the oldest building in Florence. Centrally located in Piazza del Duomo across from the Florence Cathedral and Giotto's Campanile, you will not miss this imposing octagonal building built in Florentine Romanesque style and coated majestically in green and white marble. It forms part of the monumental complex of Santa Maria del Fiore, and purchase of any of the monument passes will allow access to the baptistery. Be sure to watch out for the following renowned features of the baptistery:
    (i) its 3 sets of bronze doors, the most important being the replica of the Gates of Paradise, which features 10 bas-relief panels depicting several Old Testament scenes;
    (ii) the dome's incredibly complex Byzantine mosaic dating back to the 13th century; and
    (iii) monumental tomb of Antipope John XXIII.

    Nice spot to duck in out of the sun or rain and snap some photos. After that, it's easy on move on. Close to most of the well known sites.
