What better time than Christmas to enjoy the beauty of Florence? The city, dressed up for a party, is even more fascinating, and walking in the streets lit up with traditional Christmas decorations and lights provides undoubtedly a unique experience for anyone visiting at this time of the year.
Those who will find themselves in a Florence surrounded by holiday cheer, will also have the opportunity to participate in special and guided tours designed specifically for this period. Among the many offers, we have selected just four that we think will be perfect for all tastes and ages:
PRIVATE TOUR IN THE OLTRARNO AREA
A guided walking tour of about 3 hours through the the characteristic workshops of the Oltrarno, one of the most authentic and fascinating areas in the center of Florence. The guided tour also includes a stop at one of the prettiest cafés in the neighborhood to enjoy an espresso or cappuccino.
A VERY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR CHRISTMAS NIGHT
This tour will take you through the streets of the historic center of Florence on the most magical night of the year. Maybe, upon studying the night sky, you might even catch “Babbo Natale” passing overhead… 😉 The tour starts at 11pm and lasts about 3 hours.
