The five things
05Duomo complex
Choose one Duomo climb and save your energy
Make the Dome or Bell Tower your main climb, then use the pass across three calendar days instead of turning one morning into a staircase contest.
- How long
- 2–4 hours
- When to go
- First morning slot
Uffizi Galleries
Enter the Uffizi with five works in mind
Choose five works or rooms before you enter. The museum becomes readable and leaves room for genuine surprises.
- How long
- 2–3 hours
- When to go
- Early morning or late afternoon
Oltrarno and Santo Spirito
Cross the Arno and find workshops still at work
Walk through Santo Spirito, San Frediano and Porta Romana while looking into real workshops, not only souvenir windows.
- How long
- 2–3 hours
- When to go
- Weekday morning
Sant'Ambrogio Market
Start your day at Sant'Ambrogio Market
Arrive while the market is properly working, notice what residents buy and build a simple breakfast or lunch.
- How long
- 60–90 minutes
- When to go
- 8:00–11:00, Monday–Saturday
Piazzale Michelangelo → San Miniato
Do not stop at Piazzale Michelangelo
Treat the famous viewpoint as a stop, not the finish. A few minutes higher, San Miniato offers space, architecture and a calmer view.

- When to go
- Late afternoon
