Hello
My family (me, husband, daughters 13, 12, and 10) will be staying in Florence arriving Saturday June 27 in the afternoon and leaving Tuesday June 30 in the morning. We have booked a place to stay and my daughters have found a map with all the gelato shops so everything is planned in their eyes.
I am wondering more about museums as we will really only have Sunday and Monday to explore, are most museums closed on Mondays? My understanding is it is best to purchase tickets in advance to avoid the long lines, is it necessary to purchase those now or how far in advance? Do they sell out of advance tickets for purchase?
Also, what would be best to do our first night there? Should we try to do a museum Saturday night if one is open late?
Lastly, it will be my daughters 14th birthday while we are in Florence, what restaurant would you recommend for us to celebrate at? If needed I want to make a reservation and arrange for a birthday dessert of some type.
Appreciate the suggestions!
