What budget for activities and outings Florence - Firenze?

Tickets for the monuments and museums of Florence are often combined. Remember also that admission is generally free on the first Sunday of the month (from October to March), for EU residents under 18, and reduced for those under 25.

Don't forget the "Firenze Card": this personal card, valid for 72 hours, gives access to the main museums and churches of Florence with priority entry, without reservation (except for the dome : it is necessary to reserve a slot in advance). Price: €85. Points of sale: museums, tourist offices or online(www.firenzecard.it).

It's worth noting that, apart from the Cascine park to the west of the city, there are no city parks (for running, rollerblading or cycling) in Florence's historic center. That said, it may be a good idea to find a bike-share scheme (www.ridemovi.com) to get around, as there are plenty of cycle paths in the city center.

From luxury to the cheap, you can find everything in Florence! The "Ve Avenue" is the via dei Tornabuoni, where the biggest brands hold the top spot (Armani, Gucci, Versace...). For those looking for discount price brands: Outlet of Barberino di Mugello outside Florence. For the thrift store, our favorite is the San Lorenzo market.

A cinema ticket costs around €10 on weekdays. Reduced rates on Wednesdays between €6 and €8. A good deal! Please note, however, that VO screenings are quite rare, so a good command of Italian is essential. To find out which films are shown in which cinemas: www.mymovies.it.

What budget to eat Florence - Firenze?

From Michelin-starred restaurants to small neighborhood trattorie, in Florence, whatever your budget, you'll eat well! For a taste of traditional Florentine cuisine, the trattoria is a safe bet and generally offers excellent value for money. For around ten euros, you can enjoy a delicious pasta dish(primo piatto). Also worth knowing: despite its low price, house wine(vino della casa) is often of good quality. In the land of Chianti, wine by the jug or by the bottle in a restaurant is rarely an awful mess, as mass production is qualitatively superior to many other countries. A final word of advice: Italians still often pay in cash, and some restaurants do not accept credit cards.

For a quick bite to eat, there's nothing better than pizzerias by the slice (around €5 to €9), or small grocery stores that also make their own sandwiches (around €6). It's also a good time to try the famous lampredotto, a Florentine specialty with tripe!

Excellent Michelin-starred restaurants run by top chefs such as Riccardo Monco (Enoteca Pinchiorri) or Rocco De Santis (Santa Elisabetta) offer an exceptional culinary experience. Set menus cost between €150 and €300.

A beer costs between 3 and 6 €, a cocktail between 5 and 10 €. There are several inexpensive bars in the student district of San Marco (cocktails from 3 €).

What is the budget for accommodation Florence - Firenze?

Of course, prices vary according to the season.

Low season: from the second week of January to the end of February, and from early November to the Christmas vacations.

Mid-season: in March, from mid-July to the end of August (it's very hot in Florence in midsummer!). Discounts are often offered by hotels wishing to start the season earlier.

High season: end of March to July, September to end of October and Christmas.

Some establishments may require a minimum stay of three nights.

Please note: accommodations charge a tourist tax(tassa di soggiorno) of €2 to €7 per person per night. The rate depends on the category of the establishment you are staying in. The tax is not included in the price at the time of booking, so it will be calculated as a supplement on the day of departure.

Travel budget Florence - Firenze and cost of living

The cost of living is, for the same quality of service, virtually identical to that in France. The notion of "equal quality" is, of course, subjective, but, for example, you can never eat badly in a restaurant, even for less than €12(primi piatti), and even if Tuscany is one of the most expensive regions in Italy. Most of the budget is spent on accommodation. Youth hostels are few and far between, and in high season you'll soon be paying €75 or more for a double room. To reduce the cost of museum visits, the Firenze Card is a good option.

Low budget (€80/day): night in a youth hostel or simple hotel, pizza (€5 for the cheapest) at lunchtime and a good pasta dish in the evening (€8), a museum and a drink in the evening.

Medium budget (€130/day): night in a 2- or 3-star hotel, restaurant, museum and show.

Comfortable budget : there's no shortage of top-class restaurants and hotels in Florence.
