When to go
Museums and the centre are especially busy in warmer months. Build the day around a confirmed timed entry if the Uffizi or Accademia is a priority.
Getting there
For intercity travel, compare current rail and coach options; when flying, check the live airport-to-centre connection before departure.
Getting around
Walk the historic core; plan rail, bus or an organised tour separately for Tuscany.
Where to stay
Duomo, Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella are practical first bases; Oltrarno is calmer in the evening.
Practical tips
01Do not stack two major museums
02Allow time for entry
03Give Tuscany a separate day
