Hello,
This question may come up often, but in looking at different sites, it is not clear on what will, or will not, be open on May 1st for this year in Florence. We are visiting for one day by cruise ship and have limited time and no options for changing the day we will be there. I understand that the Uffizi and Accademia museums will be closed - but are the others open? Is the Duomo open? What about stores / shops / restaurants?
Lastly, is there one thing on this day, May 1st, during the day, that we should try to see or do because it is the holiday, that we would not be able to see other days during the year?
I am looking forward to coming back to Italy and my first time to Florence. Thank you so much for your thoughtful insights.
