  • Go see Michelangelo's the David at the Galleria dell'Accademia.
  • View life as the Medici's saw it in Santa Croce.

  • Run around the Piazza Del Campo. Known for its famous horse race, the Palio, this square is in the center of the city and has tons of shops to explore.
  • Climb up the Torre Del Mangia. You can climb over 400 steps to see great views of the city and the countryside dotted with vineyards and rolling hills.
