FLORENCE
BARS & NIGHTLIFE
Florence boasts a lively nightlife scene.
Most bars have some sort of happy hour,
which usually lasts for many hours and is
often accompanied by substantial snacks.
Dance clubs typically don’t open until very
late in the evening and don’t get crowded
until 1 or 2 in the morning. Cover charges
are steep, but it’s fairly easy to find free
passes around the city.
