About three days is enough to get to know Florence:
- Days 1–2: Florence is compact and very walkable, so two days covers the main sights and museums.
- Day 3: a day trip to Bologna, the Chianti wine region or Milan.
You can walk everywhere in central Florence: the neighbourhoods sit close together and the streets are very pedestrian-friendly. Walking from San Marco across the Arno River to Oltrarno takes under 30 minutes, with the major sights along the way.
