It's a very nice museum focusing on sculptures, with the ground floor hosting a mix of Roman and Christian mythology, and the upper floors focusing on primarily Christian mythology. There are also a room just with weaponry.

It wasn't very busy and much less crowded that the more popular Uffizi, which was great and allowed you to move around and consider the pieces. The building itself is also very interesting, built in 1255, functioning as a prison and police headquarters for several hundred years before being turned into a museum.

It was €14 per person and a good visit.
Cool church from the Renaissance period. Come for the beautiful architecture and Christian mythology, stay for the weird bones of various saints.

Do bear in mind that if you wear too short shorts, they make you wear a modesty skirt to cover your thighs.
Beautiful piazzale with a gorgeous view of the sunset over Florence. There was a bottle bar where you can buy some drinks while enjoying the sunset.

However, do be mindful that it's incredibly popular and absolutely stuffed with tourists, so you will have to manoeuvre to get a place with a full view.
The museum has 5 floors of art, where the lower are focused on traditional art and the top modern and installation art. Be aware that you'll have to pay €1 to take photos of the art. I really enjoyed the modern art which I thought was fantastic, especially the hallway of books. Just brilliant.
