Get a lampredotto sandwich with green sauce from one of the street vendors. Shouldn't be more than 4 euros.

If you're into art, then the Uffizi Gallery is the way to go. Plenty of artworks of various forms to see, and it includes Boticelli's famous paintings Primavera and The Birth of Venus.
To a lesser extent there's also the Galleria dell'Accademia, which deals mainly in sculpture and is best known for housing Michelangelo's David. Some of the statues in the galleria (including David) actually have duplicates out near the Palazzo Vecchio in a little area known as Loggia di Lanza which is worth a quick look.
In terms of city viewing, I recommend heading up to Piazzale Michelangelo by way of the bridge at Ponte Vecchio. Both of these attractions aren't actually very good in and of themselves - the bridge is very touristy and the piazzale itself is basically a parking lot where street vendors try to sell you selfie sticks - but you can get a good view of the Arno from the bridge and the whole of Florence from over the edge of the piazzale.
There are also dozens of churches, as expected of Italy, arguably the most recognizable of which is il Duomo which marks the city center. If you like giant Renaissance-era stone architecture, then welcome to flavor country.
