The Boboli Gardens
Other side of the Ponte Vecchio; it is where the Medici’s lived; the gardens are beautiful; go on a nice day and be prepared to wait in line

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Middle of the city; climb it – all 366 steps; it sucks but it’s worth it; I recommend doing it at the end of the semester, when you know the city well; take pics

Piazzale Michelangelo
this place is AMAZING; either cab it up or walk up there; its far, passed the Ponte Vecchio; it has an amazing FULL view of the city; I now call this view my happy place; it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful; bring a bottle of wine and enjoy with your friends at sunset. If there is one thing you do in Florence MAKE THIS IT

David of Michelangelo
(Via Ricasoli, 22-red) – Galleria dell’Academia; its literally 15 minutes; you walk in, see him, and leave; buy tickets before online to avoid lines because later in the day the lines are out of control
