The Mercato Centrale food hall and open-air stalls offer delicious Tuscan fare. Lodging options include hostels, B&amp;Bs, apartments and boutique hotels.

Most major sights like the Duomo, Palazzo Pitti and Galleria dell\u2019Accademia are <strong>within a 30-minute walk<\/strong> of each other. Strolling the city allows you to stumble upon hidden gems and soak in the atmosphere. However, Florence\u2019s cobblestone streets can take a toll on your feet, so be sure to <strong>wear comfortable walking shoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Transit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Florence\u2019s bus and tram system covers the whole city and runs from around <strong>5am until midnight<\/strong>. Tickets cost \u20ac1.20 and are valid for 90 minutes. The major bus terminus is Piazzale Montelungo, a short walk north of the train station. Tram line T1 runs from Santa Maria Novella train station to Piazzale Montelungo and on to Florence\u2019s southwestern suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bikes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a bike in Florence is a fun way to cover more ground and enjoy the lovely Tuscan scenery. However, Florence\u2019s chaotic traffic and uneven cobblestones can make cycling difficult for inexperienced riders. Exercise caution if biking in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxis in Florence can be expensive, so they are best used only for short trips or if you have heavy luggage. The taxi stand in front of the train station and Piazzale Montelungo usually have taxis available. The fixed fare between central Florence and Peretola Airport is \u20ac20 during the day and \u20ac23 at night. Make sure the taxi has a metre &#8211; the initial fare is \u20ac3.30 with surcharges of \u20ac1 per bag and \u20ac3 if you call a taxi to pick you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Time_to_Visit_Florence\"><\/span>The Best Time to Visit Florence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/maxime-steckle-1qI-ZTs8XI-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@maximesteckle?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maxime Steckle<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/people-walking-on-street-during-daytime--1qI-ZTs8XI?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to visit Florence is <strong>early spring and late fall<\/strong>. Specifically, the months of <strong>mid-March through mid-April<\/strong> and <strong>October through November<\/strong> bring mild weather and fewer tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting during peak tourist season from mid-May through August wouldn&#8217;t be so ideal. The hotel prices become more expensive and the city becomes extremely crowded during these months. The flocks of tourists can significantly diminish the charm of Florence&#8217;s historic streets and attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>August is the worst month to visit<\/strong>. In addition to the high tourist numbers, temperatures during this month are often at an all time high, making it uncomfortably hot for sightseeing. Many Florentine locals leave the city during this month to escape the heat and crowds, resulting in fewer restaurants and shops being open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Should_You_Stay_in_Florence\"><\/span>How Long Should You Stay in Florence?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend staying for <strong>4 nights in Florence<\/strong> in order to have enough time for day trips to nearby towns like Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Two days are ideal for exploring the city&#8217;s main attractions and another two days allow you to make an easy day trip to the neighbouring towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only stay 2 nights in Florence, you will have time to see the major highlights such as the Duomo, Uffzi Gallerey and other sites, but it might feel rushed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more time and budget to spare, staying for 5 days or more is a great leisurely pace to explore more of Florence. You&#8217;ll have time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/en\/find\/tuscany?utm_source=italy-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=florence-first-timers-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check out other neighbourhoods<\/a>, visit smaller museums and churches, go on multiple-day trips, shop to your heart&#8217;s content, and enjoy the city&#8217;s excellent food and wine culture. Before you know it, you&#8217;ll become a Florentine local yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; Florence in a nutshell! As a first-timer, you&#8217;ll no doubt be blown away by the sheer beauty around every corner. Just remember to go with the flow, soak up the atmosphere and don&#8217;t try to cram everything into one visit. That way, you&#8217;ve now got the perfect excuse to come back again and again to discover more of what this stunning Renaissance jewel has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/2024\/02\/02\/florence-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 Florence Restaurants You Should Not Miss<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/2024\/02\/05\/local-food-florence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Best Restaurants in Florence Loved by Locals<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villas-italy.com\/guide\/2024\/01\/30\/florence-best-cafes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The 7 Best Cafes in Florence for Coffee Lovers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve just arrived in Florence for the first time and don&#8217;t know where to start.
