How long were you in Florence? It doesn't seem like enough time to see the Uffizi, Acadamy, Shul (and/or museum), the Ponte Vecchio, walk around town, and the science museum all in one day.

Depends on the day and museum lines. And how much time in each place. It is possible for sure though.

How would you rank the above activities from best (can't miss) to worst (it's ok to miss if our of time)?

When I was there it was education week so all museums were free admission to all museums. Best part was for 5euro we skipped all the lines of people waiting for free so I covered everything I wanted to in basically one day.

@ Yehoshua

1.Walk around town/Ponte Vecchio/leather market (All part of a walk)
2. Uffizi
3. Shul (and/or museum)
4. Acadamy
5. Never did science so can't say.


All depends what you want to see.

We did uffizi academia and the shul/museum all in one day as well. It was a little pricey but I do believe it was worth going to both museums. What is also cool in academia is they have some unfinished Michelangelo sculptures which kind of lets you see how they were crafted which is kind of amazing.

At 18 EUR/pp? That doesn't seem too expensive to me.

Is it necessary? Are there long lines?

Hmm, almost the opposite of of jj1000. The shul/museum was that good?
