FAQs
What is the nicest part of Florence to stay in? ›
Duomo. The neighborhood around the Duomo is where to stay in Florence if you want the tourist experience par excellence. The Duomo is the city's bullseye. As always in Italian cities, it's the center of the action as well as the most touristy and expensive place to stay.
Where not to stay in Florence? ›Most people who visit Florence tend to stay in the city centre around the Duomo, Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. As you can imagine, these get very busy and noisy, making them an area to avoid in Florence.
Where to stay in Florence, Italy for the first time? ›If it's your first time in Florence and you want to be right in the middle of all the action, stay in the Centro Storico. It's charming, central, and full of good places to eat and drink (and, of course, some not-so-good options too). It'll be a bit more expensive, but it'll be worth it.
How many nights in Florence is enough? ›Ok, let's start: I would say that you should spend in Florence at least 3 days, especially if it is the first time you visit the city. In less than 3 days there's a real risk of doing a tour de force, dedicating little time to too many things, without fully appreciating any of them.
Where do celebrities stay in Florence, Italy? ›Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel: Florence, Italy
No day is complete without a meal at La Loggia Restaurant, one of the city's finest dining establishments. It's no wonder this breathtaking pick is where celebrities stay in Italy – we love it there too!

What are the safest neighborhoods to stay in Florence Italy? ›Florence is, in general, a city where visitors can feel secure. In particular, areas which are more residential – like Santa Croce and Sant'Ambrogio, or San Frediano, Santo Spirito, San Niccolò, and Piazzale Michelangelo across the Arno – are very safe.
Is there Uber in Florence? ›Yes. The Uber app gives you the power to request a ride to get around Florence anytime, 24/7.
What month is best for Florence? ›Considering the weather, we would say Florence's (and Tuscany's) best travel months (also its busiest and most expensive) are April, May, June, September, and October. These months combine the convenience of peak season with pleasant weather.
What is the best way to travel within Florence? ›
Walking is definitely the best way to enjoy the city, but especially in the hot summer months a bus or a taxi can come in handy. And if you're planning to explore the countryside around Florence, then a rental car is definitely your best bet. Walking and cycling are two of the most pleasant ways to see Florence.

Is Florence very expensive? ›Is Florence among the most expensive cities in Italy? Without any doubt, Florence is considered an expensive city, but it is not among the top places in the rankings of the most expensive Italian cities. Depending on the parameters taken into consideration, on the podium we find cities such as Milan, Rome and Venice.
What's better, Rome or Florence? ›Rome is best for ancient history and Roman ruins, while Florence is best for Renaissance history and classic Italian culture. Both are wonderful for food and drink, but if you're here for the shopping and the fashion, then it's Rome that takes the crown.
Which side of the river should you stay in Florence? ›While the central Duomo and Santa Maria Novella areas boast romantic hotels such as The Place Firenze, Palazzo di Camugliano, Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1, and The Continentale at the north end of the Ponte Vecchio, the most romantic neighbourhood to stay in is the Oltrarno (south of the Arno River) where we you'll ...
What is the cool neighborhood in Florence? ›Duomo. The Duomo neighborhood is part of Santa Maria Novella, one of the city's oldest districts. Located in the heart of Florence and hosting some of the city's most prominent cultural landmarks, Duomo attracts tourists worldwide. The quality of life in the Duomo neighborhood is among the highest in the city.
Is it better to stay in Florence or Countryside? ›Even if you're staying less than a week, my top recommendation is to stay in this central area and enjoy a day driving around the countryside visiting the villages spread across the landscape, a day in a city such as Florence or Siena and so on, depending on the amount of days you have.
What is the most beautiful square in Florence? ›The L-shaped Piazza della Signoria may very well be the world's most beautiful city square. It is surrounded by several important buildings, including Palazzo degli Uffizi, the oldest art museum in the world, and Palazzo Vecchio, the former palace of the Medicis.
