On your first day take the red Hop-on Hop-off double decker bus tour. It leaves from across the street from the train station. You can ride around and listen to the commentary, get the lay of the land, and hop off at the main tourist sites to wander around. This will let you identify places you want to come back and see in more detail later, while making sure you don't miss anything important.

The Uffizi Gallery has huge, monumental lines. Go online and pre-book your ticket, and entry time (I recommend going first thing in the morning). The other galleries are not so bad.

You can walk almost everywhere in the old part of Florence, but it is wiser to take the bus up to San Mineato, and then walk down through Piazza Michalangelo, don't try to walk up.

Make sure you go to Santa Croce, the Academia, Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens. Make time for shopping. Florence is famous for leather work, wallets, purses, shoes, jackets. They are the best.

Plan at least five days in Florence. You will be able to visit Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio, its Duomo (cathedral), the Baptistry (its exterior made of green and white marble are really famous) and the Ponte Vecchio (old bridge). Florence isn't a huge city, you're gonna a great time and a good idea of how the city really is. You won't be able to have a full visit of Uffizi in Florence but you can choose certain rooms: e.g. Leonardo or Michelangelo. Keep in mind Uffizi timetable Tuesday-Sunday, 8:15 am - 6:50 pm. If you're looking for a good hotel in Florence you can go to Scoobit.com, the hotel search engine at http://www.scoobit.com fill the form with city name (Florence) I went to the third hotel on the left. It was a clean, well located and nicely staffed hotel. Not over-priced. It's a safe site. I book hotels through Scoobit.com frequently. You can book on line and there are no booking fees.
