Florence Vacation Guide

Stroll the Boboli Gardens.
These extensive gardens behind the Pitti palace provide excellent views of the city of Florence and numerous sculptures in a relaxed environment. Stop in the hilltop café, grab a drink and a seat outside and enjoy the view.

Street Performers by the Uffizi, in front of the Palazzo Vecchio.
In the evenings street performers often put on a show here. Performances can range from violin duets to people dressed as sculptures. A nice place to stop while you eat your after-dinner gelato.

Enjoy the view from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
It’s a big square on a hill, but somewhat distant from the traditional tourist sites. It’s easy to reach it even on foot using the stairs called “Rampe di San Niccolò”. They are on the side of the Arno river just in front of the national library. Do this thing during the summer and during the night to admire Florence’s lights.

Santo Spirito.
Santo Spirito is one of the most overlooked piazzas on the Florence Map. Santo Spirito is an excellent place to relax, chat, or drink a bottle of wine. Separated from the hustle and bustle of tourism in Florence, Santo Spirito gives you a taste of Italy and gives you a chance to engage with the locals.
