The Itinerary guide to Florence

Every itinerary video worth watching in Florence โ€” in one place

3 hand-picked clips from real travellers and local creators. No filler, no sponsored fluff.

Florence is compact enough that most of its significant sites are walkable from any central hotel, but the itinerary question is really about sequencing and booking: the Uffizi, the Accademia (where David stands), and the Duomo roof all require advance tickets that sell out weeks ahead during peak season, and trying to do all three in one day is a common but avoidable mistake. The standard two-to-three day structure that multiple creators converge on: Day 1 for the major monuments (Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset), Day 2 for the Uffizi and Mercato Centrale as a food-architecture combination, and a morning at the Oltrarno neighbourhood before departing. The Mercato Centrale is the most underused itinerary anchor โ€” it opens early, it is reliably excellent for breakfast, and it sits five minutes from the Duomo, making it the natural start to any museum day. Importantly, restaurants near the Duomo are tourist traps by definition; any place open before 6:30pm is a reliable warning sign.

Itinerary

The ‘XHHqb2JEpZU’ Florence channel video โ€” by the publisher of Florence Wise, who has lived in Rome since 2001 โ€” covers 12 things to see across three days and includes a Google Maps link divided by day, which makes it the most operationally useful single itinerary reference in the set. It is deliberately light on food and shopping (handled in separate videos), so it pairs well with ‘Don’t Eat in Florence Without Watching This First’, which handles the neighbourhood sequencing from a food angle and points toward the Oltrarno Negroni scene as a natural itinerary endpoint โ€” together they cover the architectural and culinary layers of a three-day Florence visit without overlap.
