euro cruiser Posted July 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's only a little more than a half mile between the two museums, much of that on primarily pedestrian roads. Depending on how fast you walk, and how much looking you do along the way, I'd say between 20 minutes to a half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grvdggr71 Posted July 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Florence is an extremely walkable city, and the two museums are relatively close together. You'll also be walking right by the Duomo on your way through. For a quick bite to eat, there are a number of small cafes (I believe they are called tavolas) right near the Duomo. You can get paninis at these cafes for cheap and to go. If time is an issue, try to get reservations ahead of time. I'm not sure how busy the museums are in September. We were in Florence in November and walked right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandbanksguy Posted July 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just planning on going to Uffizi and Accademia Gallery's in Sept. Plan to walk from Uffizi to Accademia. Can this be done? How long should it take me? Places to eat along the way and get it fast? Thanks Go to www.maps.google.com , click on the walking icon, and enter the starting and ending locations. You will get the walking route map and directions. I just did it. It's .8 mi and should take about 15 min give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
