Florence 3 Days Itinerary

Ready to dive into the Florence vibes for 3 unforgettable days? Get your cameras charged, your taste buds prepped, and your sense of wonder alive—this itinerary is all about maxing out art, eats, and those dreamy Tuscan sunsets! 🌇✨ Day 1: Iconic Florence Kickoff Start your morning at Santa Maria Novella train station. Grab a quick, delish breakfast at Mercato Centrale’s Bambi Caffè—trust, their coffee game is unstoppable! ☕️ Head over to the breathtaking Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore). Snap shots of the epic Renaissance architecture, then climb the dome or the Bell Tower for views that'll have your IG followers shook! 🤳 Tour the Duomo’s gorgeous interior or pop next door to the Baptistery (Via della Canonica, Piazza del Duomo, open daily). Next stop: Medici Chapels (Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini), where you’ll be wowed by jaw-dropping frescoes and the iconic tombs of the Medici fam. Roll onwards to Accademia Gallery (Via Ricasoli 58/60, open Tue-Sun), where Michelangelo’s David serves up pure statue goals. Then stroll to the legendary Uffizi Gallery (Piazzale degli Uffizi, open Tue-Sun) for OG masterpieces by Botticelli and da Vinci. Bonus tip: Reserve tickets in advance via trip.com—skipping lines = more snack time! Afternoon means a lazy wander through Piazza della Signoria. Cross the super charming Ponte Vecchio—those bridge-top shops are so photogenic! End your day soaking up artisan vibes and tasty eats in the Oltrarno district. Day 2: Nature & Chill Wake up and explore the dreamy riverside walks along the Arno—sunrise or sunset here is next-level pretty. Nature-Vision all the way! 🌲 Take a detour to local gardens and snap Western-style architecture and outdoor landscapes that’ll give your feed those Florence aesthetics. Rain or shine, Florence looks sooo good! When lunchtime hits, tuck into Italian classics at a local trattoria—don’t miss wild-boar ragù or Florentine steak! 🍝🥩 Day 3: Hidden Gems & Hotel Goals Stroll quieter neighborhoods for close-ups of stunning buildings and peaceful piazzas. Make Palazzo Oliveto (Via Monte Oliveto 32, Florence) your home base. Centrally placed, you’re walking distance to all the major spots. Enjoy breakfast in their cute courtyard (the local flavors and fresh coffee = YUM 😋), and vibe with super helpful staff. Rooms are spacious and bright, with beds that make you want to sleep in, although note some windows don’t open and views can be limited. Facilities are modern but keep an eye on some structural quirks. Pro guest tip: If you spot anything off—stairs, beds—mention it to the staff; they’re friendly and fast to help. Multilingual support is still growing, but everyone is super welcoming! Must-Visit Attractions - Duomo & Baptistery - Accademia & Uffizi Galleries - Piazza della Signoria - Ponte Vecchio - Medici Chapels - Oltrarno artisan streets - Arno riverfront strolls 📷 Epic Photo Spots: Duomo rooftop, Ponte Vecchio at sunset, garden bridges, and Oltrarno’s street art. 🚇 How to Get Around: Florence is best explored on foot, but local buses and taxis are an easy backup when your legs need a break. 🍜 Top Eats: Mercato Centrale; cozy Oltrarno trattorias—hello, Tuscan soul food! 🏠 Sleep Well: Palazzo Oliveto, Via Monte Oliveto 32. Book your stay via trip.com for smooth travel flows. Travel smart, live the Renaissance, and let Florence make you fall in love—again and again! Buon viaggio! 😍

Discovering Nature's Drama & Renaissance Wonders 🌄⛲🕍 Start your adventure in Urumqi County—especially if, like me, Duku’s rugged beauty calls your name! Head to Bilong Bay in the Urumqi Tianshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area (Dengcaogou Village, Banfanggou Township; open year-round, all day). Explore winding boardwalks hugging the turquoise water, ideal for a sunrise stroll or picnic by the rocks. Don’t miss snapping the canyon’s sheer cliffs reflecting on the bay for a truly “insta-worthy” landscape. At Swan Lake, also found in the Tianshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area, early mornings promise quiet, magical mist and maybe—if you’re lucky—graceful swans gliding by. I recommend bringing a windbreaker, as canyon gusts can surprise you! For both spots: Carry water, dress in layers (mountain weather flips fast!), mind slippery stones, and double-check your route as signage is sparse. Duku’s peaceful vibe is best savored with lingering pauses—don’t rush! Skip continents to Florence and the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze; open Mon-Sat 10:15–15:45, closed Sun). Marvel at the grand facade, but the real star is the climb up Brunelleschi’s dome for panoramic city views—get tickets in advance and conquer those 463 steps! The piazza itself is a prime photo spot, especially early when crowds are thin. Respect the dress code (covered shoulders/knees), expect queues, and don’t miss the cathedral’s shadow moving across the square as light shifts. #UrumqiCounty #DukuAdventure #Florence #NatureMeetsArt #EpicItinerary#travel #xinjiangfood
