You can hop a train to Pisa easily too. Takes about 30 minutes and well worth it.

I’ve never heard anyone say Pisa is well worth it. 15 min stop, town is a dump to put it mildly.

I was about to come post this exact response.

- see the dumo. You can grab sandwiches nearby here. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187895-d696584-Reviews-I_Fratellini-Florence_Tuscany.html

- see David (book tickets in advance)
- eat Florence Steak. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187895-d1088152-Reviews-Antico_Fattore-Florence_Tuscany.html
- walk, eat gelato, see bridges
- visit world’s oldest perfume shop https://us.smnovella.com/



Our two favorite Tuscan towns are Sienna and Multipulciano. If you are traveling to or from Rome, you can hire a car (we used and liked Daytrip) and stop in Multipulciano for a few hours on the way. Make lunch reservations in advance.
