[A] Sal Miniato al Monte [Via del Monte alle Croci, 34]. Florence's loveliest Romanesque church with sweeping views and a glorious interior.
[B] Giardino di Boboli [Via Piazza de' Pitti, 1] Italy's most visited garden. A pretty place for an outdoor stroll, essential in a city where you are likely to spend a lot of time in galleries.
[C] La Specola [via Romana, 17]. The most eccentric museum in Florence featuring a large collection of anatomical waxworks.
[D] Santa Felicita [Costa San Giorgio, 3]. The chiesa di Santa Felicita (Church of St Felicity) is probably the oldest in the city after San Lorenzo. The Deposition, Jacopo Pontormo's unnerving painting located above the end altar, is one of Italy's strangest.
[E] Museo Bardini [Piazza de' Mozzi, 1] was built by an antiques collector, Stefano Bardini, at the end of the 19th century. It contains an extraordinary eclectic collection of works: imagine the world's most expensive jumble sale.
[F] Palazzo Davanzati [Via di Porta Rossa, 13] was erected in the second half of the 14th century by the Davizzi, a family of well-going wool traders. A fascinating museum, emerging from years of restoration, that recreates a medieval Florentine palace.
[G] Vivoli [Via Dei Neri, 20]. The best ice-cream in Italy? Who knows? It's fun trying to make up your mind.
