cruzemaven Posted February 14, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Just realized that our cruise on the Spirit in July visits Livorno on a Monday. Too bad...both the Academy and the Uffizi are closed. Any suggestions for alternative sights to see in Florence would be appreciated...as well as any recommendations for a good tour guide. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer Posted February 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You may find some information on these sights - the first has some guided tours on Mondays listed, the second gives opening hours for a wide range of places. The Palazzo Vecchio was very interesting as it is the town hall. The Medici chapels were also interesting as they had a lot of Michelangelo work. The other museum we liked was the Duomo Museum which is in a street behind the Duomo. It houses the original Baptistry doors (the ones on the buildling are copies). http://www.florence-museum.com/ Museums in Florence opening hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer Posted February 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Also suggest you look at the Europe - Mediterranean board as there is usually a lot of information there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
