Things To Do In Florence
Plan ahead when you visit Florence because there's so much to see and do. Whether you like specific guided tours, the Hop-on Hop-Off double-decker bus tour, or a walking tour there is definitely something for everyone in this great city.
The wine tasting tours are a fun way to taste some of the incredible Italian wines as well as to see the lovely countryside. Outdoor enthusiasts should look into taking a bike tour through the hill country above Florence. However, the 20-mile mountain-bike tour is not for the novice, as the elevations sometimes reach up to 1600ft.
Another day of activity can be spent playing volley ball at the beach on the Arno River and when in need for a break, rent a chase, sit back and sip a cool cocktail by the waters edge. When evening arrives you may want to take a relaxing walk along the river or go on a fabulous dinner cruise to enjoy the warm glow of the city's lights. Food connoisseurs will delight in the culinary tours that include a delicious Italian dinner. The opera and dinner tours are a nice way to spend a cultural evening in Florence.
Florence also has an amazing nightlife filled with chic nightclubs hopping until the wee hours of the morning. Be sure to checkout the underground music venues if you're looking to experience Florence's nightlife to the fullest. |
