artistic gems
To immerse yourself in the fascinating urban art scene in Florence, a must stop is Street Levels Gallery. It is the first local urban art gallery, renowned for its exhibitions, projects, workshops and laboratories. Another treasure of the city is the Artiglieria Cultural Center, which is a true Florentine institution, offering varied artistic and cultural programming. For book lovers, on the other hand, the Libreria Brac is a literary haven, where you can find a wide selection of literary works and participate in must-see cultural events.

aperitivo time
For a complete experience during aperitivo hour, you can’t go wrong by going to Ditta Artigianale, a place where you can treat your palate with a variety of sweet and savory delights, accompanied by quality cocktails or a good selection of wines. If, on the other hand, you are a beer aficionado, I highly recommend a stop at Birreria Art. 17 Brewery, where you will find a wide selection of high-quality craft beers. But if what you’re looking for is to fully immerse yourself in the Florentine atmosphere, there’s no better place than Artbar, an establishment that welcomes you with great cocktails and infectious energy, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience in the heart of the city.

buon appetito
One of my favorite places to enjoy Tuscan cuisine is undoubtedly Trattoria Sant’Agostino, a culinary gem that offers an authentic and genuine experience of Florentine tradition. However, if you are curious to explore other cuisines, I highly recommend Thai Firenze for a gustatory journey through the flavors of Thailand or Gangman Ristorante Coreano for a unique dining experience that expertly blends Korean tradition with Italian influences. Both of these establishments offer an extraordinary dining experience enhanced by their local identity.
