What fits into one day
Piazza Maggiore, the surrounding streets and a market or food-focused stop fit comfortably. A long museum list makes the day feel rushed.
Getting there
Fast and regional trains link Florence and Bologna. Compare the current fare and travel time before booking a fixed return.
Plan the day
Walk the centre first, then leave a proper lunch break. Check reservations and opening days for any restaurant or food tour that matters to the trip.
