How to Choose the Right Florence Hotel Base

The best Florence walkability is about being central without feeling trapped in the densest lanes all day.

Historic-core hotels are worth it when the trip is short.

In heritage-heavy districts, also check whether elevators, step-free entry, or older staircase layouts matter for your stay before narrowing the shortlist.
