Piazza della SignoriaCentro storico · The civic square: the Palazzo Vecchio's tower, the Neptune fountain and the open-air sculpture of the Loggia dei Lanzi. Cross it at the start and end of the day; it is at its best when the day groups have gone.Palazzo VecchioCentro storico · Florence's town hall and the Medici's apartments: the huge Salone dei Cinquecento, painted studies and map room. The separate tower climb (Torre di Arnolfo) closes in rain. On Thursdays the museum shuts at 14:00.Uffizi GalleryCentro storico · Botticelli's Venus and Primavera, Leonardo, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, Caravaggio, and the long corridors over the Arno. Give it a whole morning. A same-day ticket is cheaper than an advance one; after 16:00 there is a reduced late ticket.
