Traveling between Uffizi and Accademia on foot

[wannabetraveler]

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

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.

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.

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.
