How to avoid the worst of it today

The Uffizi Morning A calm day lets you take the gallery in order, windows and late rooms included.
The Bargello Afternoon The sculpture court, San Marco's frescoed cells and the Brancacci Chapel.
Fiesole Late afternoon The hill town above the city, or the Boboli gardens at leisure.

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.
