3 Days in Florence with Kids
Plan three manageable days in Florence around the Duomo, Uffizi, Boboli Gardens, and hands-on food stops that keep children engaged without turning the trip into a museum marathon. The route keeps walking distances short and builds in gelato, piazza time, and early starts for the busiest sights. This family itinerary is designed for first-time visitors who want Renaissance highlights, Tuscan food, and a calm base near the historic center. It is easy to fork if you need to swap museum depth for playground time or add a Pisa day trip.
