The quality of a vacation depends on what you want to do, and largely, how much you want to spend.&nbsp;
If you are planning to visit Florence, which is undoubtedly one of Italy’s most touristy cities, have it at the back of your mind that a few days can never be enough.
If you fancy visiting some of the main attractions, then you should brace yourself for massive crowds.

I have been to Florence’s main attractions, such as the Santa Maria del Fiore a couple of times, and my experiences here have pushed me beyond the beaten path.
Thus, I found it worthwhile to share some alternative sights that will give you a taste of what a crowd-free experience of the city tastes like.

<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Bardini Museum</h1>
Stefano Bardini was a renowned art dealer.
Throughout his life, he managed to gather an impressive collection of paintings, art masterpieces, paintings, medieval sculptures, and armors.
After his death, his remarkable collection was later moved to this museum.
As much as you might expect thousands of people to flock in this museum, the numbers are quite low, making it one of the most overlooked museums in Florence.

<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Buonomini di San Martino&nbsp;</h1>
<a href="http://www.buonominidisanmartino.it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Buonomini di San Martino</a> is a 700-year-old cathedral.
Even though it is not the most attractive cathedral in Florence, it remains to be one of Florence’s best-kept secrets.
This cathedral is home to wealthy people who became bankrupt.
The Buonomini di San Martino a must-visit medieval complex if you are looking for a one-of-its-kind travel experience.
 
<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Delle Porte Sante Cemetery</h1>
The Delle Porte Sante Cemetery is located at one of the highest points in Florence.
Most people are less interested in visiting centuries while on vacation.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a place to enjoy Florence’s magnificent views without lots of people around you, this is the place to be.
The ornamented graveyards found here are also delightful.
