Min. reading

Are you planning to visit Florence in December? Are you looking for a moment for yourself before the Christmas rush? Alternatively, are you wondering where to spend your Christmas holidays?

Florence in December can be the perfect solution for you!

Why?

Florence in December shows all the colors that precede wintertime and, together with the typically Christmas atmosphere, shows a face of the city that is hardly found during the rest of the year. The vibrant shopping streets and, at the same time, the serenity of walking and visiting its world-famous museums and monuments without the crowd of high season tourism.

During the month of December, you can also take advantage of a rich selection of cultural events and temporary art exhibitions, as well as several occasions to taste the delicacies of the Tuscan land and the Florentine cuisine. Furthermore, the Weihnachtsmarkt, the Christmas market of the city located in Piazza Santa Croce, offers you typical products and artisanal objects coming from all over Europe!

Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco offers the best hotel rates for any travel needs.
