Its beautiful marble facade mimics that of Florence Cathedral, and there\u2019s a wealth of magnificent decor and art to admire inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walls are adorned with 14th-century frescos by Spinello Aretino, which depict scenes from the life of St. Benedict.

The Palazzo Davanzati, however, is often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was originally constructed in the 1400s when it was owned by the Davizzi family, but the Davanzati family purchased it in the 16th century. Although it went through several rounds of renovations over the years, it\u2019s been carefully preserved since its last iteration of changes in 1838.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, it serves as a museum to share insights into what life was like for Florentine nobility in the fourteenth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

You can expect meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, baked goods, cheese, and much more. Head here for lunch to enjoy some authentic Tuscan dishes from one of the market\u2019s eateries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

It was established after World War II for young people orphaned by the war to learn a trade. You can visit to watch the skilled artisans at work or take a short workshop to learn some basic leatherworking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.

Today, the passageway is open to all, and it\u2019s a wonderful spot to admire the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.

It lies in the Boboli Gardens and offers fantastic views across the River Arno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a guided tour to learn about the fort\u2019s design and strategic position. You can also capture some excellent photos of the city from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Palazzo Medici-Riccardi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.palazzomediciriccardi.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">palazzomediciriccardi.it<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Address: <\/strong>Via Camillo Cavour, 3, 50129 Firenze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>9 am \u2013 7 pm Thursday to Tuesday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Palazzo Medici was the original residence of the Medici family before the Pallazo Pitti and the Palazzo Vecchio were constructed. It was later owned by the Riccardi family. Compared to the incredibly lavish finish of the later Medici palaces, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi is more reserved and imitates the style of Florence\u2019s earlier dukes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s plenty of incredible art to take in, including a beautiful fresco by Benozzo Gozzoli that depicts 15th-century Florentine court life. The ground floor of the palace is dedicated to the Medici Museum, where you can learn more about the Medicis and see one of Filippo Lippi\u2019s most famed works, Madonna and Child, which dates back to 1442.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.

They are separated into three key areas \u2014 the Italianate Garden, the English Garden, and the Agricultural Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are pretty mosaic fountains dotted amongst the greenery and a charming terrace with a cafe where you can enjoy a relaxing coffee. The Bardini Gardens can be accessed with tickets to the Boboli Gardens, which are one of Florence\u2019s biggest attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10.

Its construction began in the 13th century but wasn\u2019t completed until the 15th century, when its interior was decorated with one of the era\u2019s greatest frescoes by Masaccio and Masolino. The masterpieces depict scenes of the Old Testament and the life of Saint Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11.

He dedicated his life to gathering a varied assortment of artworks, including a range of ancient armor and weapons. He bequeathed his collection to the people of Florence upon his death in 1906, and it\u2019s now one of the most fascinating attractions in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12.

Dominican friars founded it in 1221, and their expertise was handed down and expanded over the years until the pharmacy came to specialize in perfumes. There are now several branches throughout the city, but the shop in the original location is a must-visit for fragrance fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13.

The last few decades have seen a rise in street art, with some artists, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cletabraham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/exit.enter.k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ExitEnter<\/a>, gaining notoriety for their eye-catching works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Street artworks change regularly, so your best chance of stumbling across cool stuff is in the Oltrarno neighborhood around Piazza Pitti and Via Toscanella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15.

It was pioneering in that it was the first hospital of its kind in Europe. Plus, it is considered by many to be the first fully Renaissance building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the architectural decisions made by the building\u2019s designer, Filippo Brunelleschi, were driven by a need to keep costs low, but this doesn\u2019t mean the building is lacking in beauty. There\u2019s much art to be admired here, including terracotta medallions on the facade created by Andrea della Robbia and artworks inside by Botticelli and Ghirlandaio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>16.

It is dominated by the 17th-century San Marco Church, which forms part of a Dominican covenant, which is now a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Piazza San Marco lies close to the bustling Accademia Gallery, which is home to Michelangelo\u2019s David. It\u2019s the perfect spot to grab coffee after a hectic morning of sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>17.

Rome is very walkable and easy to explore, but be sure to wear comfortable shoes to get around as many sights as possible on your day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover More Hidden Gems When You Explore Florence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are some of Florence\u2019s best hidden gems, but there are countless more lesser-known sights and points of interest to discover when you wander around the city.
