25hours Hotel Piazza San Paolino
She stayed here; Dario Cecchini's restaurant is inside the hotel on Piazza San Paolino.
Buca Mario
Book via their website — it's packed. Order bistecca alla fiorentina (medium rare), pappa al pomodoro, raw artichoke-parmesan salad, ragù pasta, and the trolley tiramisù with cantuccini & Vin Santo.
Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
Brunelleschi's dome is the largest brick dome in the world - one of the great Renaissance feats, seen best from Piazza del Duomo.
I' Girone De' Ghiotti
On via de' Cimatori: no hour-long line, thin crispy bread. Try the veggie panino - 3-cheese fondue, truffle cream, roast eggplant, arugula.
Osteria delle Belle Donne
Her first stop in Florence: knock on the little wooden 'buchetta del vino' hole in the wall on Via delle Belle Donne, order from the menu beside it and a glass of red comes through.
Ponte Vecchio
Day trip from Rome — Florence is within about two hours.
Sinagoga e Museo Ebraico di Firenze (Tempio Maggiore)
Moorish-style synagogue with a green dome, built 1874-1882; ticket office at via Farini 6.
Piazza della Signoria
Go early morning to have the square almost to yourself, or at night when the Fountain of Neptune is lit up.
Palazzo Vecchio
Come at night — the lit Fountain of Neptune and the David replica stand right outside; grab a quick espresso at a classic bar nearby.
Cecchini in Città
Dario Cecchini's city spot inside the 25hours Hotel: start with fried dough, prosciutto and mustard; lunch came to €58.
Fontana del Nettuno
Beautiful lit up at night beside Palazzo Vecchio — 'Buonasera Firenze'.
Gelateria della Passera
Recommended by a local expert: go only to Cinzia's place on Piazza della Passera - 'gran gelato'; ask for the date sorbet.
Piazza della Repubblica
Come in the evening for the lit historic carousel and the Christmas lights on Rinascente.
Piazza Santo Spirito
Market stalls with Tuscan cheeses and salumi - pecorino Fiore Sardo, sbriciolona, salame toscano, guanciale.
Pizzeria Caffè Italiano
Hidden behind a restaurant entrance: only 6 tables and a huge oven turning out perfect Neapolitan pizzas. Save it.
Vivoli
Come at 9am opening to skip the line and order the viral affogato (gelato + espresso) at the wine window.
Giostra Antica di Piazza della Repubblica
The vintage carousel under the arch, with painted Ponte Vecchio panels, is a lovely winter photo stop.
Piazza della Passera
Charming little Oltrarno square - eat your gelato there by the Christmas-lit tree.
Via dei Magazzini
Walk the centro's lanes around 7am — the streets are completely empty, just you and the locals.
Mercato Centrale Firenze
The original branch where this cool food-market chain started.
Piazza del Duomo
In winter the Christmas tree goes up in the square, next to the Baptistery and Giotto's bell tower.
Ponte Santa Trinita
Great spot for the Arno view with the colorful riverside houses.
Gallerie degli Uffizi
Come in the morning — the colonnaded courtyard and the yellow arcades toward the Arno are empty.
