2 days in Florence is enough for the headline sights, provided you anchor each day to one major sight and book it before you arrive. The plan below does exactly that: one anchor per day, a free alternative beside it, and an evening in a neighbourhood worth the walk. Admission for the 2 booked sights comes to about €32 per person, on top of a typical €80–€170/day.

Best Time to Visit
April–June is ideal — mild temperatures (18–26°C), the Iris Garden in bloom on the hillside and fewer visitors than July. The Maggio Musicale Fiorentino festival brings world-class opera in May.
Getting Around Florence
Walking is the definitive Florence experience — the historic centre is a UNESCO-listed pedestrian zone and almost every major sight is within 1.5km of the Duomo. Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven stone streets.
Best window for this trip: Apr – Jun, Sep – Oct.
