Top things to do in Florence
Unlike other holiday destinations, sightseeing & activities in Florence is a mix of arts and sports-related fun, depending on what you fancy doing at the moment. At one time, you can climb the Duomo or Campanile, a famous bell tower in the city that gives you the best views of Florence, including the Tuscan countryside. Or you can engage in stand up paddling to see the beauty of the city from the water.
To enjoy a live performance without spending a lot on tickets, watch the street performers work their magic in front of the Palazzo Vecchio by the Uffizi. And while you're at it, enjoy a cup of gelato. If your idea of a vacation includes wellness treatment, enjoy the thermal waters of Impruneta spring, which has been used to treat skin allergies, and respiratory, liver and gastrointestinal diseases. You can also explore Florence ala Robert Langdon in Angels and Demons, when you sign up for an Inferno Tour. But one of the best ways to truly experience Florence is to let its magic wrap around you and maybe cast a spell or two.
