Culinary culture:
Florence is a food lover’s paradise, where rustic Italian flavours shine in simple, yet exceptional dishes. Try a classic bistecca alla Fiorentina, a juicy T-bone steak traditionally served rare.

For something truly unique, visit Museo Leonardo da Vinci to discover the inventions and masterpieces of the great artist. Explore the Oltrarno district for artisanal workshops, offering a glimpse into Florence’s traditional crafts.
Good to know:
Florence is a walkable city, and strolling through its cobbled streets is one of the best ways to soak in the atmosphere. The local currency is the Euro (€), and the city is known for its excellent gelato – don’t miss a visit to Gelateria La Carraia for a sweet treat. Florence is particularly busy in summer, so visiting in the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) offers a more relaxed experience, with fewer crowds and more pleasant temperatures. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes for exploring the city’s narrow streets and hilly terrain.
