Pros and Cons Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truthfully, you can&#8217;t go wrong visiting either Rome or Florence. Both shine as Italian travel destinations. As locals, been to Rome and Florence many times we know the significant differences of Rome vs Florence. Rome claims superiority for ancient ruins, Vatican museums, food and lodging variety. But smaller Florence excels at intimate Renaissance charm and walkability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For first Italy trips, most visitors pick <em>easy-to-digest Florence<\/em>. Rome requires multiple visits to absorb its many layers. Why not devote trips to each? There&#8217;s plenty of history, culture, art and cuisine to savour in both cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roma and Firenze (As you spell in Italian) each have their travel advantages. The decision is subjective based on your specific interests, time and budget. This detailed comparison will help you decide whether Florence or Rome is better for your next Italian getaway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-city-has-more-to-offer\" data-block-type=\"core\">Which City Has More to Offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a very close call between Rome and Florence for which destination offers the most things to do. Rome undoubtedly has sheer volume with its layers of history and significant monuments. Many travellers return again and again without running out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Florence feels more condensed, with the majority of attractions walkable within its centre. You can &#8220;see&#8221; Florence quicker than Rome while still needing to prioritize the major highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First-time Italy visitors may cover more ground in the smaller city of Florence. After, you&#8217;ll be eager to return to explore lively Rome next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

take a long time to traverse from one sight to the next. Luckily, it has an extensive public transportation system of buses, trams, the metro and more. Florence is more compact and walkable once you reach the historic centre area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We found getting around by foot much easier in Florence compared to Rome.<\/strong> However, Rome has the benefit of more transit options if walking long distances is an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal > .kt-inside-inner-col

And don&#8217;t forget to try Tuscan desserts like panforte Christmas cake and ricciarelli almond cookies.

The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica just scratch the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>With over 900 churches, you find architectural marvels everywhere. <\/strong>Tour the underground Catacombs. Take in the famous keyhole view at Villa del Priorato di Malta. Or explore different neighbourhoods like Trastevere, Prati and Monti. Rome rewards wandering to uncover its secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Piazza della Signoria - Places to visit in Florence in 2 days\" class=\"wp-image-5729\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piazza-della-Signoria-Instagrammable-spots-in-Florence-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Piazza della Signoria is on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/one-day-florence-itinerary\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5795\">Florence One day Tour list<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"smaller-florence-is-compact-walkable\" data-block-type=\"core\">Smaller Florence is Compact &amp; Walkable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One advantage Florence has over sprawling Rome is its compact size and very walkable centre. Many key attractions like Il Duomo Cathedral, Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Vecchio government palace cluster within steps of each other around Piazza della Signoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In Florence you don\u2019t waste time-fighting traffic or on public transportation. <\/strong>Spend days to exploring individual neighbourhoods like Santa Croce or Oltrarno across the Arno River. When your feet get tired, take in views from Piazzale Michelangelo. Florence feels easier to get around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shopping-fashion\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Shopping &amp; Fashion<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"big-name-shopping-abounds-in-rome\" data-block-type=\"core\">Big Name Shopping Abounds in Rome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopaholics flock to Rome for high-fashion boutiques lining streets like Via Condotti and Via Frattina. Major Italian labels like Gucci, Prada, Valentino and Fendi started in Rome. Hidden neighbourhood shops carry locally made leather goods and jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find funky housewares at open-air markets. Hunt for antiques in Monti or Via Margutta. And don&#8217;t miss the amazing food markets like<strong> Mercato Trionfale or Testaccio<\/strong>. Whether you want big luxury names or quirky boutiques, Rome delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"florence-leans-toward-local-artisans\" data-block-type=\"core\">Florence Leans Toward Local Artisans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Florence contains some big-name luxury brands, shopping leans toward locally made leather items, jewellery, linens and artisan products. Speciality workshops craft marbled paper, mosaic tiles or embroidered tapestries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oltrarno&#8217;s Santo Spirito neighborhood overflows with small workshops. Ornate jewellery and gold shops line the medieval Ponte Vecchio bridge. The San Lorenzo leather market sells jackets, gloves and more. For <strong>high-quality craftsmanship<\/strong>, Florence excels thanks to its art history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/The-best-of-Rome-amazing-places-where-stay-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The best of Rome - amazing places where stay\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/The-best-of-Rome-amazing-places-where-stay-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/The-best-of-Rome-amazing-places-where-stay-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/The-best-of-Rome-amazing-places-where-stay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/The-best-of-Rome-amazing-places-where-stay.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visiting-for-fun-understand-which-is-more-lively-if-rome-or-florence\" data-block-type=\"core\">Visiting for fun?

The lively Campo de&#8217; Fiori and Trastevere areas stay hopping late with bars perfect for aperitivo cocktails and people watching. Dance clubs like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.room26.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.room26.it\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Room 26<\/a><\/strong>, Piper and Akab draw party-goers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catch-spirited football matches between hometown rivals Roma and Lazio. Have a laugh at comedy clubs doing stand-up in Italian. Or listen to live music in jazz bars like Alexanderplatz. Rome really comes alive after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"florence-nightlife-revolves-around-wine-bars\" data-block-type=\"core\">Florence Nightlife Revolves Around Wine Bars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Florence might feel sleepy compared to Rome, but wine bars keep things interesting. <\/strong>Head to Oltrarno, San Niccol\u00f2 or San Frediano to discover hole-in-the-wall enotecas. Piazza Santo Spirito draws a young wine-sipping crowd on summer nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want some late-night dancing, Central Park nightclub stays open until the wee hours. Small venues like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attractions-g187895-Activities-c20-t104-Florence_Tuscany.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attractions-g187895-Activities-c20-t104-Florence_Tuscany.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jazz Club<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firenzelodging.it\/the-be-bop-live-music-florence\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.firenzelodging.it\/the-be-bop-live-music-florence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Be Bop Music Club<\/a><\/strong> host concerts.

Enjoy apartment rentals or pamper yourself at 5-star hotels. With so many visitors, Rome offers endless lodging choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"smaller-florence-means-book-early\" data-block-type=\"core\">Smaller Florence Means Book Early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Florence has fewer accommodation choices overall, you still find quality hotels, B&amp;Bs, and apartment rentals. But with such heavy tourism in a compact area, the best ones book up early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For luxury right on the Arno River, splurge at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/it\/portrait-firenze.en-gb.html?aid=7927807&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=PS-PhuKol\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/it\/portrait-firenze.en-gb.html?aid=7927807&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=PS-PhuKol\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-45061, #f1dda9) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Portrait Firenze<\/span><\/a><\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/it\/gallery-art.en-gb.html?aid=7927807&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=ITA-FloRom\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/it\/gallery-art.en-gb.html?aid=7927807&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=ITA-FloRom\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-31949, #ffe8aa) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Gallery Hotel Art<\/span><\/a>.

However, Florence is more budget-friendly overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some average costs to give you an idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Mid-range hotel in Rome = $100-$200 per night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Mid-range hotel in Florence = $70-$150 per night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Pizza meal in Rome = $8-$15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Pizza meal in Florence = $5-10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Attraction entry in Rome = $10-$25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Attraction entry in Florence = $5-15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/why-visit-rome-italy\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/why-visit-rome-italy\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Rome draws bigger crowds<\/span><\/a><\/strong> plus more luxury tourism driving costs slightly higher.

So, neither can be considered a peaceful hidden gem! However, Florence overall sees smaller visitor numbers than the Italian capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Rome, sightseeing hotspots like the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/why-visit-vatican-city\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23746\">Vatican<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/worth-visiting-colosseum\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"28209\">Colosseum<\/a><\/strong> generate huge bottlenecks for tour groups during peak season. Lesser-known neighbourhoods still buzz with tourists but not the overwhelming crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florence has its own crowded icons, too, like the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/best-photo-spots-florence\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5702\">Uffizi Gallery and Duomo<\/a><\/strong>. But the compact city centre doesn&#8217;t feel quite as chaotic to navigate as Rome. Plus, you can escape to quieter districts like Oltrano fairly quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter which Italian city you pick, visiting in the shoulder season (Spring or Fall) beats summer crowds. Our tip is to explore both Rome and Florence over multiple vacations to fully experience all they offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-is-better-for-you-florence-or-rome\" data-block-type=\"core\">Which is Better for You: Florence or Rome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know how Rome and Florence compare on transportation, attractions, dining, prices, and crowds &#8211; which city sounds best for your vacation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rome wins if you want to see world-famous ancient sites and don&#8217;t mind getting around a large capital. Art and architecture buffs who prefer walkable sightseeing may prefer Florence instead. Foodies appreciate the local flavours in both regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully this closer look helps point you toward the ideal Italian destination to match your must-see list. <strong>There&#8217;s no &#8220;better&#8221; option between Rome vs Florence<\/strong> &#8211; one will just align better with your travel priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever you pick, come with comfy walking shoes as you eat your way through these amazing cities!
