Walking in Florence
Florence packs the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio and centuries of Renaissance art into a compact, mostly flat centre that is ideal for exploring on foot.
Terrain. The centre is flat; the climb to Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato is steep but short, with steps and ramps.
Surfaces. Large flagstones, mostly smooth but sometimes uneven, and narrow pavements on some streets.
