Second week, ten new pages, spread across five departments — keeping the pace we promised at launch.
New in See & Do
- Palazzo Vecchio — Florence's still-in-use town hall, the Hall of the Five Hundred, and the Arnolfo Tower climb.
- Bargello Museum — the city's best Renaissance sculpture collection, and consistently uncrowded.
- Museo Galileo — Galileo's own telescopes, and a genuinely good stop for families.
- Piazza Santo Spirito — Brunelleschi's last church and Oltrarno's liveliest square.
New day trip
Fiesole — twenty minutes by bus, Roman ruins, and the best view of Florence you don't need a full day to reach.
New in Food & Wine
Aperitivo guide — how the pre-dinner ritual actually works, and where to go.
New in Stay
- Luxury hotels — the categories worth knowing before you book.
- Budget hotels & hostels — doing Florence well on a modest budget.
New in Plan
Driving & the ZTL, explained — the most common accidental fine visitors get, and how to avoid it entirely.
Next up: more day trips, a deeper look at individual Oltrarno streets, and we're scoping out how translations will work as the English guide keeps growing. Follow along on the news page.
