   Florence tourist Information

There are lots of cultural places and landmarks to see in Florence. Excellent quality hotels in Florence from which you can visit these places are online bookable.

Florence is pre-eminently a city to visit cultural sites and landmarks. This impressive art city features a lot of things to see. Many art and cultural expressions you must have seen at least once in your life. Good to know is that if you are an EU citizen and under 25, over 65, or a student, you can obtain reductions at some of the sights. All you have to do is to bring your passport or any other legal ID to confirm your status. There are also some dos and don’ts that you have to keep in mind while visiting Florence. Expect pushing and bumping at places where it’s crowded, which is by the way not meant impolite here. When having dinner, a man always pours the wine. Italians find it very unwomanly if a woman does. Always shake hands at every encounter or good-bye, no matter how short it was. When visiting a church, it’s expected to wear appropriate clothing, so no shorts and short sleeved shirts for both men and women, and women are also expected to cover their heads. Read on for our Florence travel guide.

Holiday travel guide

In summer, Florence is very crowded and hot, but fortunately most of its main artistic attractions are indoors so you can cool down a bit. And that said, all those indoor attractions also make an all-year-round destination of Florence, so you will never find an empty city. On arrival, visit the Tourist Information Office opposite the station, where you can pick up a free town plan and a list of museum opening times and prices. You really need this list if you want to plan your trip, because some museums and galleries are open only in the morning and others may close one or two days a week. It's also worth visiting the ATAF bus station alongside the railway station to pick up a free bus map and a couple of tickets.
