Transfers usually drop you near Santa Croce church, where we begin our itinerary. Don't visit Santa Croce unless you have time to spare and want to see elaborate tombs. Head to Piazza della Signoria to see outside gallery and Palazzo Vecchio. Go to Piazza del Duomo (or the square with the Duomo) Santa Maria de Fiore, and see outside of baptistry and church. Climb dome if you wish and have time. Eat at La Mescita Visit the Accademia to see the statue of David by Michaelangelo Visit either the Pitti Palace or the Uffizi Gallery, depending on your tastes. See the Ponte Vecchio
