This Mini Guide brings together recommendations, events, and local insights across Florence's most memorable experiences.
The best rooftop restaurants in Florence are found around the historic quarters and offer unparalleled views of the city's iconic skyline.
To truly experience Florence’s elevated dining, head to neighbourhoods like the Oltrarno and Santa Maria Novella where tradition meets modernity.
