Local Picks - Things To Do in Florence

Our Local Picks for things to do in Florence are chosen by people who actually live here, not some algorithm or paid ads. We know Florence’s rhythms, the neighborhoods locals love, and the subtle pleasures beyond the big tourist spots. These picks reflect what you’d hear over a coffee in Santo Spirito or when chatting with friends at the market in Sant’Ambrogio.

Because we’re here year-round, our recommendations change with the seasons, helping you enjoy Florence differently depending on when you visit. For example, on warm spring evenings, heading to one of the less crowded piazzas like Piazza del Carmine offers a relaxed vibe with local music or a quick glass of wine. These are suggestions tested and enjoyed by locals who want you to experience Florence in genuine ways.
