What to do in Florence

It's great to come to Florence to immerse yourself in dolce far niente – “sweet idleness". Leisurely sitting in a cafe, shopping, looking for the best steak Bistecca alla fiorentina (prices on which starting from €35-40). And personal guides will help you to touch the beauty and learn all the secrets of the city.

In addition to excursions, tourists are recommended to taste the fragrant Tuscan wines and stroll through the “brought to life" decorations of Roberto Benigna drama “Life is beautiful" in the town of Arezzo.

After dinner and excursion programs there is not much to do in the city. Having an infinite number of virtues, Florence has only one drawback: the lack of modern culture with parties and concerts. However, don't deny yourself the pleasure of visiting the bar of Tasso hostel, where all local intellectuals – poets, musicians and artists from all over the world – spend dark evenings.
