La guida di Pietro
Our suggestions
Here some extra hints for you: most highlights are open air in Florence and you should visit the city centre on both sides of the river. You should definitely not miss a walk in the Oltrarno area (other side of the river) which is surely more authentic and less touristic. There you will find the amazing Pitti Palace and the Boboli garden which is just incredible and the unique Santo Spirito church which is different from all the other ones cause it has a plain facade and the square itself is lovely, there are many bars and restaurants where you could enjoy an aperitif or a dinner. Then I definitely recommend you to walk up to the Piazzale Michelangelo which is a hill in town with an amazing view of the whole city. You can maybe take a bus (number 12 or 13) to go up and then come back down walking through the very nice paths coming down the hill and maybe stop at the Rose Garden. Then you should also visit the S. Ambrogio market and really get the feeling of what a typical local food market is, but you could also try maybe lunch at Mercato Centrale, just recently renovated and very close to the flat.
You could also go to Fiesole with bus number 7 from Piazza San Marco and enjoy the sunset up on the hill (if you go up towards the monastery you will have a great view of the city and can make great pictures and maybe stay for dinner there at Vinandro trattoria which is right in the main square. These are my top suggestions for sure and Alessandra can give you more upon arrival.

The Galleria dell’Accademia – or Accademia Gallery – in Florence, Italy, is without a doubt most famous for its sculptures by the great Renaissance artist, Michelangelo. His Prisoners (or Slaves), his St. Matthew and, above all, the magnificent statue of David within the Tribune are what first draw most of the hundreds of thousands of visitors the museum welcomes every year.
The main halls at the Accademia also offers visitors works by great Italian artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Pontormo, Andrea del Sarto, Alessandro Allori and Orcagna, to name just a few of the painters.

The National Museum at the Bargello is without a doubt one of the most important and known museums in Florence. Within, the museum exhibits a large collection of sculpture, including the famous bronze David by Donatello.
For art lovers, the Bargello is synonymous of sculpture as the Uffizi is for paintings. At the Bargello, you can also admire Donatello‘s marble statue David and Saint George, as well as works by Luca della Robbia, Verrocchio and Benvenuto Cellini.
In the room dedicated to Michelangelo one that catches everyone’s interest is Bacchus (above center), among Michelangelo’s first sculptures and one of his very rare profane works, as well as the Tondo Pitti and the Portrait of Brutus.

The Medici Chapels are part of the monumental complex of San Lorenzo, which includes the basilica of San Lorenzo. The Medici Chapels are the final burial ground for the Medici family.
As you enter the museum, you’ll first visit the crypt in which you’ll find several of the grand dukes of Tuscany, together with their wives (lesser known members of the illustrious Medici family).
From the crypt you’ll then enter into the magnificent Chapel of Princes, easily recognized by its octagonal floor and cupola designed by Buontalenti.
The last part of the chapels is the New Sacristy, designed by Michelangelo himself and built at the start of the 16th century.
This is the burial ground for one of the most famous members of the family, Lorenzo the Magnificent, whose remains are buried under the altar without a grand monumental tomb because Michelagenlo left Florence and never completed his project!

Boboli Gardens: Situated behind the Pitti Palace, the Boboli Gardens is the most famous park in the city of Florence. For almost four centuries it has been the garden of the residence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany and for a short period of the kings of Italy.
The Medici family were the first to take care of its arrangement, creating the model of the "Italian garden" which was a source of inspiration for many European courts. The vast green surface, divided evenly, creates a true open-air museum, decorated with with ancient and Renaissance statues and adorned with large fountains and grottos, including the beautiful Bountalenti Grotta.
Its charming routes allow you to capture the spirit of life in court. The Boboli Gardens is undoubtedly not to be missed for those who want to learn about the fascinating history of the city of Florence.
