How to avoid the worst of it today

The Ponte Vecchio Before 8:00 Before eight the bridge is empty and the Baptistery's bronze panels are clear.
The Uffizi First slot The dome, the Uffizi and the Accademia are all timed; book all three before you pack.
The Oltrarno Midday Workshops, Santo Spirito's lunch tables and the Boboli terraces carry the peak hours.
Piazzale Michelangelo Sunset The classic view down, or vespers at San Miniato just above it.

Where the crowds are

The Duomo–Signoria–Uffizi corridor: The compressed heart; nearly all of a heavy day happens along it.
The Ponte Vecchio: Clogged all day; dawn and night are its only open hours.

Quiet places in Florence

The Oltrarno: Santo Spirito, San Frediano and the artisan lanes; the city's working half.
The Bargello & San Marco: First-rank art with short queues.
