We just did a day trip to Florence from Rome last week!!!
We left Rome at 6:30am for Pisa. Saw the leaning tower, clicked pics and grabbed a quick bite at Posto before taking the 10:30 am train to Florence.
We walked to the Duomo, around Ponte Vechhio from the back and did Uffizi from 1pm to 3pm. I had marked previously which ones I wanted to see so it was easy.
From Ufizzi we walked across Santa Croce to a bag store called Moretti and I bought 2 fabulous leather bags.
Walked to Pino’s and sat there till 4:30pm for a late lunch of some amazing sandwiches, coffee and aperol.
We then walked to Accademia at 5:30pm where I saw my 2 favourite pieces, Cello by Amatti and David.
Finally walked to Mercato Centrale for a lovely dinner and dessert before taking our train back to Rome at 8:30pm.
It was a crazy day, lot of walking and it was dazzling all through the day. But it was amazing as there were very little people because of the rain and lines at Ufizzi and Academia was short.
I loved every bit of it. But next time I will take more time.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It sounds like you had a brilliant day. You definitely packed in a lot of sites, which is doable if you have a bit more time than I did in my video. I am sure it was tiring but also rewarding. Glad you had such a nice time!
I had a grand daytrip to Florence from Rome last spring! Thank goodness the city attractions are so close to each other. Arrived early enough to check out cenacolo di'Sant Apollonia and la SS Anunziata di Firenzia before the Accademia. Spent 90 mins there then it was off to explore the Doumo complex including climbing up Giotto's tower and the museum. Pity the Baptistry mosaics were not in full view. No time for a sit down lunch so I got a sandwich and gelato before running off to spend 3.5 hours at the Uffizi. Got to hang out a bit at Piazza della Signoria and Piazza della Republica. Dinner was the local signature Lapredotto at Mercato Centrale and also bought some inexpensive leather souvenirs before catching the 8 pm train. It was a trip that needed some military precision to pull off! If I had to do it all over again, I would stay in Florence for 3 days, and that would allow me to do a day trip to Siena. It's very unfortunate as an American we simply don't get enough vacation time!
Wow that sounds like an amazing day trip - packed full of activities! I am glad you got to do so much but agree that it's a lot for one day and that it would be better to have more time to do all that you did. But I completely understand not having enough vacation time and wanting to see as much as possible in the short time you have. Great job!
Going to rome for the first time end of June and want to visit Florence for the day 💕💕💕
Wonderful! I hope you found this video helpful!
Hello, I have subscribed to your channel. Great tips, been learning a lot and you have a nice clear way of speaking and explaining...Alessandro too btw. This video is so beneficial as I will be doing this itinerary in Dec 5 days Rome, 5 days Florence. wanted to take it slow and easy.
Just one humble suggestion: It will nice if you could include the day, time and perhaps temperature in your clips.
After watching your 1-day trip to Florence from Rome - noticed you and Alessandro wore so many layers - was wondering if it was that cold!
Anyway - Good Job!
Thanks so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. We have more videos about Florence, with longer itineraries, that you may find helpful:
ua-cam.com/video/pc3BAGQHjsY/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/kM1B_x-DQqI/v-deo.html
We often do put the time on things, as we did in this video, to show you the pace we keep, but your suggestion of also including the day of the year/month/week and also the temps is a good one and we will do our best to include that info in future videos.
Basically how we are dressed reflects the weather while we are filming and we do a lot of filming in winter, so you will see us bundled for those videos.
My husband and I are leaving for Italy on Thurs. We will be in Rome for 3 days, and in Florence for 2 so this video came at a good time for us. I have really enjoyed watching your videos and have learned a lot.
Thanks a lot for letting me know you find my videos helpful. We have another one with Florence in 2.5 days, if you're interested:

And in case you didn't see it, here's my video about Rome in 2 days:

Thank you, great info!
Glad it was helpful! thanks so much for watching!
Thank you, this is SO helpful.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Been to both
We are going to Rome in September , thanks for all the great contents ! I’ve subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Love your videos! We have our first trip to Italy next month and I have watching and rewatching your videos in preparation for our visit. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us!
Thanks so much! I hope you have a wonderful time in Rome!
what a lovely day! thank you for this excellent video ~ a lovely couple and an excellent resource! blessings🌟💚
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Blessings to you, as well!
Just for the food alone Florence is worth the visit. Thank you again Elyssa for another informative video.
I definitely agree about the food! Although I love food around all parts of Italy. It's different in every region! Thanks a lot for your kind comments.
Thanks for the informative guidance. Truly helpful. We going to Rome on June. First timers. Your words are encouraging. Be safe.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Thanks Elyssa and Alessandro for another great Florence in a day video. We have done this a few times when in Rome and we can really recommend a sandwich in the Mercato Centrale I was stuffed for the rest of the day. Thank you both.
Thanks so much, Peter. Yes, I was actually torn between a schiacciata sandwich in Mercato Centrale and the chicken I got. It's all yummy!! Definitely a perfect way to start the day and stay full so you can focus on sight-seeing!
Nice work again. Fun seeing your husband!
Thanks so much!
I only found your videos this year. I always return to Florence repeatedly and find it hard to leave....thank you for this great overview that I shall share with travelers coming in the fall from Japan.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your sharing my video with anyone you think might find it useful!
Looks amazing but chilly…
Will be there mid April and so uncertain what to pack, definitely considering a puffer jacket
Thanks for watching. Hmmm, yes it was a little chilly but as I write this to you only a week or so later, it's already feeling very spring-like! I was out today in short sleeves. For April, definitely layer.

Beautiful city. Was hoping to get there in January but plans fell through. Maybe later this year
Thanks for watching. January is a wonderful time to visit. If you come right after the Christmas holidays end (January 6), you will find a very uncrowded city! I hope you'll be able to visit soon.
I spent 5 days in Florence which the Firenz card was great for…of the 22 places we saw in 3 days…Pitti Palace is my pick to return to for a day trip! 👏✨
I love Pitti Palace! I think most people don’t get to it on a 2-3 day visit but it’s definitely one of the best museums in Florence if not all of Italy! Not to mention the attached Boboli Gardens! Glad you enjoyed it with your Firenze card.
Will be there in about 2 weeks taking the same train that you did sourced on Trainline.
Great! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
great video.. good to see your husband in this one!
Thanks so much! And I'll let Alessandro know he should join me more often!
Thanks for the amazing videos. I am coming next weekend and was wondering about weather. Do I need to pack heavy jackets or sweater/hoodies are fine.
Thanks so much! I went out today in a wool tank top with wool cardigan. I had to take off the cardigan and even with the tank top (wool), I was hot. I saw a lot of people already in shorts. I don't think it's shots weather yet, and at night it's cool and you definitely need a jacket and a light scarf. But I think it's not really heavy coat weather any longer.
Perfect! Just the video I was looking for, you think is possible a day trip from Milano to Rome and Milano to Firenze?, I plan to go Italy this year and I will stay in Milano and your video gave me hope to do it 😂
Yes, you can do this day trip to Florence from anywhere nearby.
That being said, Milan is not that close to Florence or Rome by train.
Try using www.rome2rio.com to see distances between cities. These trips are doable but they would be long days!
@robertwilliams6605 My apologies, I mistakenly deleted your comments. I meant to answer your question about the Vatican Key Master tour. Once you book, they will give you the meeting time and place. I believe it's 6Am but check your email when you book! I hope you have a great time!
I just finished watching your informative video. I hadn’t really thought about a day trip to Florence before. It’s definitely worth considering. I love your Mandarina Duck backpack, such a great colour. Do you find it’s a good size for day tripping around Rome etc?
Thank you so much! And thanks for noticing my backpack - ha! Glad you like it. It is indeed the perfect size for me. I can fit all my camera gear in there, plus a battery pack, and still have room to pop in my sweater / scarf if I get hot. Mandarina Duck makes varying sizes of these backpacks but I love this size.
I have a couple of Mandarina Duck bags and have been eyeing off the backpack for sometime now as I love how the quality and how they weigh so little.
Yes I love their products, especially those made of this material. @@nikkiphillips128
Hi! I purchased tickets for the Medici Chapels, do I need separate tickets to visit the San Lorenzo Basilica? Thank you for your content. It's been so helpful to watch your videos for our upcoming trip! Hugs from Arizona :)
Yes, you do. They are attached and related to each other, but each requires separate tickets. And they are both worth visiting if you have time! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments.
Elyssa, We are taking the Sunday, 5:10 am train to Florence from Rome arriving at 6:45 am. I was planning on doing your underground entrance out of the station. However, I'm now thinking I may grab us a taxi (to save us some steps) to take us to Ponte Santa Trinita for some good shots of Ponte Vechhio before the crowd. We have 9 am Academia tickets so I thought we'd walk up after. Your opinion...should we do those pics when the city is quiet OR Duomo area when it's relatively empty? 😆 Again, God bless you for your helpful videos! Such a joy to view them.
Thanks for watching and for your kind comments.
Yes, you should avoid the underground to get out of the station if you want a taxi. Just walk straight out on ground level and you'll find the taxis there. Great idea to head to Ponte Vecchio early. I'd do it more for the light than for the lack of crowds. Of course anywhere you want pix and video super early in Florence will be lovely, again more for the light than the crowds. Just make sure to keep any eye on the time so you make it to the Accademia by 8:30AM. Have a great trip!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹
hi there ~ do you and your husband take people on tours like this day?🌻
Thank you for asking but no, we don't. We are not licensed tour guides so we don't do tours. But I appreciate your wanting us to guide you!
Since you're such a historian, you should visit Santa Croche church in Florence and make an in-depth video of the famous people who are buried there.
Thank you for the suggestion. We do have a page dedicated to Santa Croce on our website:
www.florencewise.com/santa-croce.html
We've also talked a bit about Santa Croce in a few of our other Florence videos, but it's a great idea to have a video just about the basilica. It's full of interesting history and architecture. I'll add this idea to our list. Thanks again!
@@Romewise The amount of famous and influential people interred in Santa Croche is just unbelievable. Even Bottechelli and his muse is buried there. Michaelangelo, Gallileo, Marchavelli, the guy who first founded America and named after him, etc.
@@Romewise I look forward to this video. Btw, love your videos. You should do videos on Naples as well. There are so many underrated tourists attractions in Naples. Plus Pompeii and Amalfi Coast are nearby too.
Thank you! Here are our videos about Naples:

ua-cam.com/video/Bf408RGru1M/v-deo.html

We are always working on new videos and have a lot of exciting ones, including to sites near Rome and Florence, planned for this year, so please stay tuned!
@@lilpenny1982
Yes, Santa Croce is amazing indeed. Michelangelo, Macchiavelli, and Galileo are all buried there. In the baroque church of Ognissanti, you'll find the tombs of Amerigo Vespucci and Botticelli. You may be interested in this video I did about seeing "cenacoli", or Last Supper paintings, in these churches:

Your recommendation for steak that won’t break the bank?
Try Cocco Lezzone - they are really old school. Like eating at someone's mom's house. And their bistecca alla fiorentina is superb! Here is our web page with more restaurant suggestions:
www.florencewise.com/best-restaurants-in-florence.html
We will be in Rome in early September 2024. We will debark from the cruise ship on Sept 15 and pick up a shuttle that takes us to the train station, which we will want to take to Florence for a week. Is it too soon now to book Italy fast train to Florence. Should I book return tickets to Rome at the same time? Do you have any maps to share?
You can try booking tickets now although it may be too early. I have links in the description to Trainline where you can compare schedules and fares. When you do book, yes, you could book return tickets. September is peak peak season so I would book everything as much i advance as possible. I am not sure which maps you are referring to?
Do they have a charge in the Mercato Centrale for the restroom or a euro? Thank you.
No, it's free.
@@Romewise thank you! It’s always good to know where those are. Visiting in 30 days 😊
I'm also a big fan of knowing where to be able to stop for bathroom breaks!! @@heidibeechuk9203
@@RomewiseHa! Id really appreciate someone publishing a video guide to public bathrooms!
@@rouxbea2 Great idea! I have a page about bathrooms in Rome on the Romewise website and it's one of my most popular! A video about this sounds like a good idea so I'll add this to the list. Thanks!

What gelato places do you recommend in Florence? I will be in Florence May 12 through May 15.
We have a whole page with our faves:
www.florencewise.com/best-gelato-in-florence.html
I think I'd put Strega Nocciola and Gelateria dei Neri at the very top.
@@Romewiseanother vote for Perche No! So good that I made a return visit!
@@samtan4729 Yes, it's a winner for sure! For some reason I always want to go there on a Tuesday which is the day they (and a few other gelaterias!) are closed!
Is the leather market outside of San Lorenzo just a tourist trap, or do they actually have quality goods?
I would say neither. I am not sure it's a "tourist trap", per se, but you do get what you pay for. This is NOT the place to come for quality leather goods. But if you just want a souvenir or an inexpensive gift, it's fine.
We are working on some shopping guides on our website, so please stay tuned: www.florencewise.com. If you bookmark it, or better yet, sign up for our free newsletter, you'll know when we publish new pages. Our shopping guides, including one dedicated to leather goods, are all coming soon!
@Romewise great! I signed up for the newsletter, and am looking forward to the shopping guides. :)
Thanks so much! Stay tuned! @@deanhatescoffee
Do not even attempt to visit Rome or Florence as day trips. Or if you are restricted to a day, pick one attraction eg Vatican Museums and St Peter’s in Rome or Uffizi Gallery in Florence and focus on that and swear that next time, you will devote several days to each city.
Of course it's always best to spend more time if you can. But some people don't have that much time and for them, a day trip can still be rewarding.
@@Romewise thus my suggestions! The worst thing is to try to see too much.
