Photo quests in Florence

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Florence holds 14 quests across six categories, led by Food with five — though only just, with three in Nature behind it. The one category with nothing in Florence so far is Beach.

None of them is tier 1 — the tier the catalogue reserves for finds nobody would already have on a list — so every check-in in Florence is open on any plan. Tier 3 covers eleven of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Nature quests want weather and daylight rather than opening hours, so the season decides more about a trip here than the distance does. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Florence quests among them.

Questions

About quests in Florence

How many photo quests are there in Florence?
14, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (5), Nature (3) and History (2). Nothing in Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Palazzo Vecchio, Bardini Garden and Stibbert.
Can you do all the Florence quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 14 falls within 3.4 km of the middle of the Florence list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Florence quests can you do for free?
All 14. The PRO gate covers checking in to the hardest tier of quests, and Florence holds none of that tier, so every quest here can be read, travelled to and checked in on the free plan. Checking in anywhere needs an account, because a verified visit has to belong to somebody, but an account costs nothing.
How do I prove I visited a place in Florence?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Florence is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Palazzo Vecchio fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Florence sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
