Consider visiting places like the Bardini Gardens, the Stibbert Museum, and the Oltrarno district. These spots offer a more local and less touristy experience of Florence.
 
Florence is famous for its amazing tourist attractions, such as the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery, but there are other lesser-known treasures worth exploring. Here are some off-the-beaten-path attractions in Florence:

  • Bardini grounds: These lovely grounds provide incredible views of Florence, fewer tourists, and a perfect environment for a relaxing walk.
  • Le Murate: Originally a convent and then a jail, Le Murate is today a cultural center with cafes, bars, and art shows. It's a one-of-a-kind place to experience Florence's lively cultural scene.
  • San Miniato al Monte: This hilltop church is one of Florence's oldest and provides an amazing view of the city. It is more serene than other tourist attractions.
  • Museo di San Marco: This museum, built in a former monastery, contains masterpieces by Renaissance painter Fra Angelico. It's an ideal location for viewing amazing paintings.
  • The Brancacci Chapel: Located in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, Brancacci Chapel houses amazing artwork by Masaccio and Masolino. It's less crowded, but still really impressive.
  • Piazza Santo Spirito: This busy area is a local favorite, with markets, cafes, and bars. It's an excellent location for enjoying the local atmosphere away from the main tourist attractions.
