How long with walking stick in Florence?

Not everything is closed on Monday. You can click on the various museums for their hours.

Florence historic center is very compact and flat (20-30 minutes walking side-to-side in the pedestrian area). It would be hard to guess how many days without knowing how many museums/churches you want to visit.

Great question. How about at least 4, with 5 being a better choice. I've been for a week on a couple of occasions and didn't at all run out of things to do.

Thing about the wonderful things that many people don't see on a first visit, but are such incredible sights: Brancacci Chapel, Medici tombs, Santa Croce and it's gardens, Palazzo Strozzi, San Marco, the Bargello, the Museo del Opera del Duomo, plus your trip to Fiesole, the Accademia, the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti, the Duomo, the Baptistry.... we could go on, couldn't we? I didn't even mention Ognissanti and Santo Spirito.

5 days would good for a slower paced person. Where are you heading from Florence?

I have researched which are closed on Monday but will check again on Florence website. I was thinking at least 4 possibly 5 days. Indeed we could go on and on. I'm really looking forward to Florence. It's not that I can't walk, just slower and need to rest occassionally. I start in Rome, then Naples, Florence, Padua (trips into Venice), Bergamo then onto Zwitzerland.
Thanks

Boboli Gardens is so vertical that it might well be difficult for a person with limited mobility. My wife is a keen gardener (obsessive, actually) and she found it unsatisfying, though I loved the rooftop views of Firenze and the hills.

I always plan one sight in the morning and one sight in the afternoon. By "sight" I mean your checklist of must-sees for you. This does not mean you won't see more, just getting from place to place, stopping at an open church you pass on the way to your destination, window shopping, or the like. But it allows the time to visit without rushing. So start calculating YOUR must-sees . . . 6 must-sees = no less than 3 full days . . . and so forth.

Hi 20,

5 days should do it; even including a daytrip to Siena.
(we stayed 11 nights at www.bedinflorence.it)

As noted, the Boboli gardens is a steep climb. We also thought that they were not properly cared for.

You do get a good view from the top, however.

Enjoy your visit.
