I definitely recommend climbing the tower for a spectacular and unique view of Florence. You can also walk in the courtyard of the Palazzo Vecchio for free and admire the beautiful frescoes.

Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence
@daniellecohen
Around 1294 began the construction of the gothic church Santa Croce. The church was designed by a rival Dominican order to surpass the Santa Maria Novella. The Santa Croce soon became the largest Franciscan church. In the Basilica di Santa Croce you will find sixteen chapels, the most famous of which is the Capella de Pazzi. Due to the many funerary monuments, the Santa Croce has become the Pantheon of Florence. This is because the church contains many tombs and funerary monuments of famous Florentines. For example, you will find the grave of political leader Niccolò Machiavelli, but also of scientist Galileo Galilei. In addition, a large number of artists and architects are buried in the Santa Croce, including Michelangelo and Vasari. Furthermore, Dante has a funerary monument here, but is himself buried in Ravenna where he died in exile. ***Free for residents of Firenze

Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.
