Because it’s a university city, the social scene in Florence is a young one with students from all over the world coming here to study art and more importantly, to enjoy the vibrant nightlife. As a result, the evening usually doesn’t get going until pretty late because people prefer to drink at home or have leisurely drinks in a bar or café before beginning to party in earnest. Clubs don’t open until 11.00 or 11.30 and are not nearly full until as late as 2.00am so bring comfortable dancing and walking shoes as the evening tends to go on.
The good news is that you can enjoy a relatively cheap night out if you keep your eyes peeled for special offers. For example, most bars have a happy hour where drinks are half price and many offer free snacks too which is always an added bonus. Many nightclubs also distribute fliers or tickets throughout the city which allow reduced or free admission and with many places charging pretty high entrance prices, this is certainly something to look out for. The best areas to have fun after dark in are Oltrarno which is south of the river and Piazza della Signoria which is a little more laid back but fun nevertheless.
And, to keep up to date with the places to see and be seen try to get your hands on a copy of Firenze Spettacolo which will point you in the right direction of the city’s best entertainment venues. You can also look up Florence Today with is a free listings publication but it only comes out twice monthly so for short stays you might need something a little more up to date.
