Florence

Florence is a city that breathes art and history. Go to markets like San Lorenzo to find Italian leather goods and local crafts, and watch locals and tourists alike barter with the stall owners. For some of the best panoramic views of the city, trek up to Piazza Michelangelo. It’s a popular spot to watch the sunset for good reason. When you’re done, go get dinner at a trattoria and, if you’re feeling up for it, see why a Florentine steak is considered a local delicacy. This Tuscan city is an art lover’s paradise; visit the Uffizi Gallery to see some of Boticelli’s most famous works before going to the Galleria della Accademia and seeing Michelangelo’s David. If you’re looking for a fun game to play while walking through Florence, see how many statues of David you can find. They’re scattered throughout the city

Draped in the warm glow of the street lamps flickering along its streets, Florence’s nightlife blends cultural elegance with relaxed indulgence. ! Start your night with an aperitivo at a rooftop bar where you can savour a spritz as you admire the cityscape at night, with the majestic Duomo silhouetted against the sky. For a more laid-back evening, grab a glass of wine at one of Florence’s famous wine windows and pair it with a gelato from one of the many gelaterias. Whether you’re hunting for a culinary experience, culture, or just a good time, Florence by night promises evenings that you wish would never end.
