Florence is a fantastic city and, moreover, is great city to walk around.
Grab a street map and plan your own route between tourist attractions. This has the benefit of allowing you to simply stop in one of the many cafes and watch the world go by when your feet get tired! Or if you prefer, there are a number of websites with suggested self guided walking routes in the city. Again, this gives you the freedom to stop as and when you please.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something more formal, there are plenty of companies offering guided walking tours of Florence. These include walking tours of Florence for families with children as well as walking tours of Florence with a theme. These include this food tour of Florence on foot and this walking tour of the Boboli Gardens.
For those who are interested in more serious walking, it’s easy to get out of the city and enjoy some hiking in the stunning Tuscan countryside. For further information about walking and hiking in rural Tuscany, please have a look at our guide to hiking in Tuscany.
