What you’ll do

This itinerary will explore a very different Florence: the one that lies on the other side of the river Arno, but hides just as many jewels as the part better known to most tourists. Among more touristy spots like Palazzo Pitti and hidden gems, I’m inviting you on a journey that combines famous sites and the city as mostly locals know it. By the way, the other side of Florence is where most locals prefer to go out - and we’ll explore some of their staples together.

To get to the other side, you can either cross the Ponte Vecchio or one of the bridges on both sides of this iconic landmark: Ponte Santa Trinita or Ponte all Grazie.

If you take Ponte Vecchio, visiting Palazzo Pitti would be the next easiest thing to do as it is located just about 5 minutes walk from there. However, keep in mind that visiting it may take quite some time, especially if you want to visit Giardino di Boboli as well. Still, it is absolutely worth it and I highly recommend you get the joint ticket to visit the gardens as well as the palace.

But, as promised, there’s more to see on this side of Florence than this beautiful and famous palace. Actually, the area is so full of really cool spots that you can spend several days exploring each part of it. But first, let me take you for a little climb to enjoy the most gorgeous panoramic views over Florence!

On your way to Piazzale Michelangelo, one of the hottest spots in Florence, make sure to stop by Sistema delle Rampe del Poggi, a wonderful decorative caves with running water and fountains inside. While not really hidden, not many people know about this beautiful and delicate construction.

Now, some may say that Piazzale Michelangelo is not that much of a hidden spot anymore (eh, it used to be a couple of years ago!) but I bet that very few tourists would know of the church located even higher - but quite easily accessible from the piazza.

There’s hardly a batter place to finish your day in Florence, whether you choose to stay in the Santo Spirito or San Frediano districts in one of their numerous bars or choose some really sophisticated locations higher up the hills like Il Conventino Caffe Letterario or Serre Torrigiani, offering great food and even better views!
