Florence, the artistic capital of the Renaissance, is home to must-see museums and galleries: at the Uffizi, masterpieces by Botticelli, Raphael and Leonardo illuminate the historic rooms, while the Accademia houses Michelangelo’s David and rare sculptures. Also worth visiting are the Bargello, Palazzo Pitti and the Opera del Duomo museum. To make the most of your visit, go early, book skip-the-line tickets and choose a guide or audio guide to bring the artworks to life.
