Florence's museums are central to the experience, but the city also explains its art through streets, churches, workshops and viewpoints. A visit to one collection can become the beginning of a neighbourhood day rather than the end of a checklist.
Reserve the collections you most want, then leave room for the city around them. A second major museum on the same day can be less rewarding than a slower walk.
