Florence Itinerary Planner
Plan a Florence trip in a few taps. TheOneToGo builds an honest, day-by-day itinerary from the places actually worth your time, groups each day so it is walkable, and tells you what to skip. Nothing is placed for payment.
The stops we'd build a Florence trip around
One honest pick per place, and why. Open any for the full verdict. The planner arranges these into your days for you.
- Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Florence Duomo) Worth it
Go, and book the dome slot before you arrive.
- Galleria degli Uffizi Worth it
Worth it, full stop, as long as you book ahead and go in with a plan.
- Galleria dell'Accademia Worth it
Worth it for David and the Prisoners, but keep your expectations sized to a small museum.
- Palazzo Vecchio Worth it
An underrated pick.
- Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens Worth it
Worth it, but pace yourself.
- Basilica di Santa Croce Worth it
Worth it, and underrated next to the Duomo.
- Museo Nazionale del Bargello Worth it
Go, especially if the crowds at the big museums are wearing you down.
- Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery) Worth it with caveats
Mixed right now, and be honest with yourself about why you are going.
Good to know before you plan
Where we would spend carefully, or not at all.
- Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery) Worth it with caveats Mixed right now, and be honest with yourself about why you are going. The gold dome that made this place is behind scaffolding through the current restoration, so the usual wow is gone.
- Mercato Centrale Firenze Worth it with caveats Come for a quick, free, central food stop, ideally the ground floor in the morning. Just do not pin your whole Florence food plan on the upstairs hall unless convenience matters to you more than the real thing.
- Basilica di Santa Maria Novella Worth it with caveats Pay for Santa Maria Novella if Renaissance frescoes, Masaccio, or a quieter church visit near the station are what you are after. If you only have room for one paid non-Duomo church, Santa Croce is usually the safer all-rounder.
- Brunelleschi's Dome Climb Worth it with caveats Do it if you specifically want the Dome from the inside, the frescoes up close, and the high view over Florence. Don't treat it like a casual cathedral visit.
