About Florence for Solo Travelers
The world's greatest concentration of Renaissance art in a perfectly compact city — solo travelers move from Botticelli to Michelangelo to Brunelleschi at their own pace and eat some of Italy's finest food between masterpieces.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Florence is compact and extraordinary for solo cultural immersion — book the Uffizi and the Accademia (David) well in advance, and enjoy them at your own solo pace without a group rushing you. The San Miniato al Monte church at sunset (free, uncrowded) is better than the Piazzale Michelangelo above it. The Mercato Centrale upstairs food hall is perfect for solo lunches. Rent a bicycle and escape the crowds in the Oltrarno neighbourhood.
