Florence is a great place to visit with kids. The town is extremely walkable and filled with fairy-tale curiosities at every corner. If your kids are interested in sceince or inovation, they'll certainly want to visit the Galileo and Da Vinci museums. If they're more outdoorsy parks the Boboli gardens are a great choice. But our top picks are the Stibbert museum and Fiesole Kit. In any case, in our experience it's better to avoid crowds even if it means missing a few of the "must-see" attractions, since there's a ton of worthy attractions in every district of this fascinating town.
