Caffè del Verone is a hidden gem in Florence, tucked away on the top floor of the Orphanage museum. Follow the directions (or take the elevator to the last floor) and you’ll be transported to an absolutely incredible place, with gorgeous views over red-brick Florentine roofs, the dome of one of Florence’s most important landmarks, and the splendid Tuscan hills. This place is the synonym of tranquility and relaxation, and that’s why I wanted to take you here to end this itinerary. Of course, it is also perfect for your instaworthy pics!

Just a quick note though, keep in mind that this place is not particularly budget-friendly. Well, compared to other countries, even the more expensive places in Italy might be more affordable, but comparing to the average prices in Italy, be prepared to pay a little more. A couple of years ago, a glass of aperol spritz there cost around €10 (median price for aperol spritz in Italy is about €5-6, and even less in the Veneto region), while a cup of coffee will cost you around €3-3,50 (an average cup of cappuccino will not exceed €1,80-2 in “regular” places, but even simple coffee shops and bars in busy touristy areas of Florence can have similar prices - or even higher). Are the views worth it? ABSOLUTELY. And chances are, you’ll return to this place again (for me, it’s a go-to when I’m in Florence, because the experience of sipping my coffee while looking at the Duomo is simply unparalleled).
