30 routes — editor-walked, or clearly flagged until they are.

Florence rewards walkers who skip the Duomo queue — the workshop-lined Oltrarno, Santo Spirito after dark, and the climb up through San Niccolò.

The centre is barely a mile across, which is Florence's trick: everything worth seeing sits within a stroll, and the crowds thin the moment you cross the Arno. Spend your mornings in the Oltrarno among the gilders and frame-makers of San Frediano, your evenings in Santo Spirito's square, and save the climb to San Niccolò for the light. The Renaissance, it turns out, is best done on foot.

No leaderboards, no algorithm — just the walks the editor thought were worth your time, with notes on what to actually look at along the way.
