Hi,
We are heading to Florence and Tuscany in the beginning of May with a group of 6. We are staying in Florence until Tuesday and then heading to Siena to discover Tuscany.
We are arriving in Milan on Saturday and taking the train to Florence. We will hopefully be arriving into the Santa Maria Novello Train station between 12:00- 13:00.
Saturday: After we check into our hotel which is near the Duomo and getting a quick bite to eat , I was thinking about going to the duomo, bell tower, baptistery, Medici palace, and Palazzo Vecchio (aka Rick Steves Renaissance Walk). Should we try and see one of the major museums (Uffizi or Accademia) on Saturday evening or just do both on Sunday? After dinner possibly go to Piazza della Signoria
Sunday: I was thinking of doing the: Uffizi, Accademia, Pitti Palace, San lorzenzo market, Ponte vecchio. Would that be too much?
Monday: Since most of the museums are closed on Monday, we were going to take a side trip to Pisa/Lucca on that day.
Tuesday: We leave for Siena, but we could do a museum or something else in the morning prior to us leaving.
Is there any other Piazzas or attractions we should see while in Florence? Any help would be appreciated.
