Florence is famous for its churches, buildings, galleries and museums. That is probably why the city of Florence makes a very beautiful picture. The best time to visit Florence is in the spring and fall, when you can avoid the summer heat, masses of tourists and take advantage of lower prices. If you come in July or August, expect a huge number or tourists and long lines to the attractions. December can be surprisingly a good time to visit when there is cooler weather and far fewer tourists.

The Bargello Museum has the largest sculpture collection in Italy from Medieval and Renaissance times. Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza San Lorenzo and Pitti Palace should also be included on your list of not to miss attractions. One of Florence's most beautiful parks is the Boboli Gardens. The park is beautifully landscaped with pools, fountains, intricately shaped border, tree-lined vistas, a grotto and the Forte di Belvedere. The Piazzale Michelangelo offers panoramic city views and at the Santa Croce's museum you can view a crucifix by Cimabue. Other must see churches include the Orsanmichele, Santa Trinità, All Saints', Santa Maria Novella: which contains Masaccio's Trinity, the SS Annunziata, Giambologna's San Marco, and the Church of the Holy Spirit.
