"THE NIGHTS "

Further to be rich in art and history, Florence offers a lot of opportunities for entertainment, with many clubs, pubs and discos. Florence's nights can be spent not only inside a club but even on the road looking at the marvellous monuments illuminated by the moon, or simply walking throghout the roads looking at artists that sing and play with you. Don't forget to go to see the beautiful view of Florence by night from Piazzale Michelangelo: you'll fall in love!!

WHERE TO GO

Clubs and pubs are almost in the centre of the city, around the Cathedral or in other famous squares of the city you can find many small places where can have a beer or a glass of the best Chianti wine. Most of them are Irish pubs but, don't worry there are also English one, American, and even Spanish and if you want to taste Tuscan specialities you absolutely have to spend a evening in an Enoteca. In the centre there are even some little discos, don't worry about dressing, you can enter anywhere without problems. If you don't want to close yourself in a pub go for a walk under the stars and go to listen to the street musicians... In Florence we have a different choice: Ken and Alice propose international music between the Loggia dei Lanzi and the Uffizi, Claudio, known as “Orzo” plays Italian songs on the Ponte Vecchio and finally Balkan music in Piazza della Repubblica! If an evening you want to go for a longest walk then continue to walk up to Piazza S. Spirito you won't repent of it because here you will find a real mix: people of the district, university students Italians and foreigners and... if you are lucky you could even meet Giuseppe Povia (the winner of San Remo 2006!).

EVENTS

During the winter you can enjoy yourself skating on ice in Parterre in Piazza della Libertà open also in the evening. During late Spring and all Summer when nights are quite warm in every square of the town there are events, such as concerts, or representation with always a bar where you can refresh yourself. In piazza S.S. Annunziata and in piazza S. Ambrogio there are summer spaces with concerts jazz, ethnic music and installation video. In Rime Rampanti you will find a very suggestive summer space, because it is really under the Piazzale Michelangelo!! Here you will have the embarrassment of the choice: festival of ethnic music, classical music, reading of poetries and... why not? A dinner under the stars! If you prefer a dive in the night then don't lose you the swimming pool of Pavoniere in the Park of the Cascine: open at night and free!
