3. 1. Group and conquer
• Group the tourist attractions by proximity and visit them on different
days.
• The easiest grouping is to divide your itinerary into north and south.
• The north should include the Accademia, the San Marco Museum, and
shopping.
• The south should include Pitti Palace, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio,
and Palazzo Vecchio. The Duomo and Santa Croce are in the centre
of town.

4. 2. Hotel near the train station
• If you're traveling by train and can't transfer from your wheelchair to
a normal taxi, you may want to stay at a hotel within walking distance
of the train station.
• There are several located just north of the station.

5. 3. Italian dining

accessible restaurants are located in each neighborhood.

sightseeing.

reach it.

accessible buses that depart from the train station.

13. 10. Easy to visit without a car
• Nearly all of the tourist attractions in Florence are within walking
distance of each other.
• If you didn't plan ahead at all and needed to go from the Accademi in
the north to the Pitti Palace in the south, you would have to cover a
distance of 1 mile (1.6 km). There is no need for a rental car.
