Things to Do in Florence Beyond Museums and Monuments

Florence Beyond the Classics

Florence is often associated with museums and churches — but there’s much more waiting beyond the tourist paths.

Unique Experiences to Try

  • local food markets

  • wine tastings

  • cooking classes

  • artisan workshops

These experiences allow you to connect with the city on a deeper level.

Why Food Experiences Matter

Food is at the heart of Italian culture. Cooking and eating together is how Italians share stories, traditions, and emotions.

A Memory You Take Home

Unlike souvenirs, skills and memories last forever.
Learning to cook Italian food is something you can bring back home with you.
