For instance, Uffizi and Galleria dell\u2019 Accademia are closed on Monday while Mercato Centrale is closed on a Sunday. On the other hand, if there is a holiday being celebrated in Florence, then chances are that the Duomo and the museums around it are closed as well.<\/li>\n<li>We recommend staying at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3447064\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Hotel_Review-g187895-d575709-Reviews-Hotel_Crocini-Florence_Tuscany.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel Crocini,<\/a>&nbsp;located near the river and just south of a huge park area.<\/li>\n<li>If you are traveling with children we recommend doing the Nancy Aiello&nbsp;<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">3 hrs Florence Discovery Private Guided Walking Tour for Families with Children.&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oj-0u5fnjCw\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Florence_2_Day_Intinerary\"><\/span>Florence 2 Day Intinerary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1\"><\/span><b>Day 1<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On this day, it is best to start your day early.

It is considered the heart of Florence. Since you have a head start it is the best to come here as early as possible to avoid the crowd. While entering the Duomo is free, but you need a ticket to explore the surrounding areas &#8211; the bell tower, baptistery, and the underground ruins below the Duomo.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t purchased the tickets in advance, do not worry, there is an office right behind the Duomo where you can buy a combined single ticket to all these areas, which includes a visit to cupola or dome by Brunelleschi, baptistery and bell tower. The ticket is valid for 72 hours, so do keep in mind while visiting this place.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the square around the Duomo is surrounded with shops and restaurants where you can enjoy a pizza and gelato as well if you have missed out on your breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=11018&amp;awinaffid=301655&amp;clickref=&amp;p=%5B%5Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.viator.com%252Ftours%252FFlorence%252FDuomo-Official-Ticket-Admission%252Fd519-31070P42%5D%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy Duomo tickets.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bell_Tower\"><\/span><b>2.

The line to climb the Bell Tower can get really long, so it is essential that you time the visit to this place properly. That is why my suggestion would be to visit this place early in the morning so that you are able to avoid the queue.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sm_m3F15_OE\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Galleria_dell_Accademia\"><\/span><b>3.
