Hi there
I am going to Florence on 24 Dec and staying there until 8th January. I have been to Florence before and already covered a few sights - Uffizi Gallery, The Academy etc... I already had a day trip to Sienna too.
I would like other great alternatives to do during this winter:
1. Christmas: Any interesting activities for Christmas (24 and 25 Dec)? Like special/atmospheric church service in a beautiful/iconic cathedral or quirky church, nice choir etc?
2. New Years Evening: what are the options for new years evening celebration? I would like something authentic, outdoors with a good vibe. Not really a commercial restaurant party. Happy to go somewhere outside Florence.
3. Short trips outside Florence: I love the arts and was planning to visit the Tarot Gardens, but I think it's closed over winter! What other special places we can visit outside Florence during the winter?
I have free accommodation during all my stay in Florence, so I rather have one days trips, to save on hotels... but happy to stay in a hotel for 2-3 nights if worth visiting distant places.
I'm 33, travelling with a friend, we love the arts, nature, little hidden gems that only locals know about it, good food and wine. We can drive and willing to hire a car for a few days too.
Thank You!
