      Florence In Two Days - Enrico Massetti

      Introduction

      Italy

      Florence is located in Northern Italy, conveniently reachable from Rome, Venice, and Milan. It is the regional capital of Tuscany.

      Florence is the cultural capital of Europe since 1400, when Europe's towns were rural and crude, while Florence practiced the art of civilized living. Today Florence is geographically small, but culturally rich, with more artistic masterpieces per square mile than any other place on earth.

      Map of Florence

      The center of Florence is small and compact, and can very quickly be covered on foot.

      Plenty of things to do before going.

      These are the few things you have to do before making a two-day visit to Florence possible:

      Make Accademia reservations for mid-morning of the second day, you can do it online at http://www.uffizi.com/accademia-gallery-florence.asp. The Accademia is a must-see, although it shouldn't take more than an hour of your precious time. Michaelangelo's David is worth the admission, and you can take as little as 30 seconds of looking or 30 minutes of studying the sculptures. The other pieces in the museum are excellent, mainly the other Michaelangelo sculptures.

      Make your hotel reservations

      Make your train and/or air reservation

      Unfortunately, to visit the Galleria degli Uffizi, you would need to spend a lot of time waiting in line, even if you make an advance reservation you still would have to wait for hours. It has therefore not been included in this itinerary.

      The morning of the first day:

      a view on Florence

      View of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo.

      Before starting to see Florence one should first look down from the top of one of its grey stone towers at the red sea of roofs lying between the hills, scattered with villas, cypresses, and olive groves. The natural setting of the city is superb.

      We start our visit to Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo, the most famous observation point of the cityscape of Florence, reproduced in countless postcards and a must-see for anyone visiting the city.

      San Miniato
