Plan this visit

Use Ponte Vecchio to connect a central Florence walk with Oltrarno. Leave time for the riverbanks and surrounding streets instead of treating the bridge as a separate long excursion.

Access and the full journey

Walk between central sights and use public transport or a taxi for the hills. Florence’s ZTL restricts driving in much of the centre; arrange the exact approach with your hotel before entering. [1][5][6][7]

MAKE IT YOUR TRIP

Build a workable day

Choose one major museum or monument booking first. Put the river, squares and a view across the city around that appointment. [1][5][6][7]
