Day 1 - Florence

With just one quick day at your disposal you may be tempted to try and see everything. Florence does have more to offer than many cities four times its size but with your limited time you will have to pick and choose what you see. My itinerary allows you to experience the city without running around checking items off a list. As you move from one point of interest to the next take in the beauty that abounds. I have suggested some points of interest that many visitors miss even during much longer stays. The Campanile di Giotto is one of those points of interest that many overlook. Climb to the top of the tower and get not only great views of the city but also of that famous dome. The Palazzo Strozzi is a beautiful building and its courtyard is open to the public. There are tenants inside the palace, including a Humanities program for the University of Florence. There are also art exhibits frequently and you could take in one of these if it interests you. The Badia Fiorentina is a beautiful place to visit and is never full of visitors.
