What to do in Florence in the evening: 4 ideas

Florence is a city full of romance, elegance, and charm. From every angle and view of the city, everyone is humbled and enchanted by its beauty. If you plan to explore the city after dark and are looking for advice on what to do, here are 4 ideas for ways to enjoy your evenings in Florence.



1. Sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo

Head towards Piazzale Michelangelo, overlooking Florence, to commence your Florentine evening properly. It is a magnificent spot to admire the city from above and the panorama that unfolds before you upon your arrival will leave you breathless.

We recommend sitting on the stairs to wait for the sunset when Florence is bathed in golden light. A number of street musicians play songs, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere.

2. Schiacciata or Lampredotto for a casual dinner

One of the foods you must try if you are in Florence is the "schiacciata", the typical Tuscan focaccia. There are many shops where you can enjoy a Schiacciata with a capital "S", stuffed with a variety of fillings and accompanied by a glass of delicious Chianti wine.

Another authentic culinary experience that the Florentines themselves love to indulge in is a succulent lampredotto sandwich, a typical mainstay of street food. It's a sandwich filled with abomasum, a cow's fourth stomach, excellent with the bread dipped in broth and accompanied by salsa verde.
