1 Day in Florence? Here's How to Spend It

Michelangelo's "David"

Once you're feeling oriented and caffeinated, head to the Galleria dell'Accademia to see the unbelievable "David" sculpture and other pieces by the prolific Michelangelo. Be sure to take in a view of the iconic Duomo on the way.

Coffee and Chianti

Make like Giada De Laurentiis in Florence and check out Italian produce, packaged products, and prepared foods at Mercato Centrale. Stalls on the ground floor sell olive oils, cheeses, and all things truffle for a perfect picnic or gifts to take home. Head to the gourmet food market upstairs to enjoy a sit-down meal, learn about winemaking at the Chianti Wine Booth, or see how mozzarella di bufala is made the traditional way.
