#4 FLORENCE,
ITALY
 |
| PIC: Florence's 'Central Park' nightclub |
When
most people think of Tuscany, they think of great artworks (like
Michelangelo's 'David'), vineyards and relaxed villas. The Tuscan
capital, however, is an intoxicating city full of students and young
travellers looking to party til the wee hours.
For
this reason, Florence has a particularly thriving nightlife with a
wide variety of bars and clubs in the centre of the city and
surrounds.
'The
Red Garter' on Via de' Benci is a popular choice early in the night
with backpackers and English-speaking students. Of course, as
everywhere, Florence has its fair share of Irish bars which are also
favoured by a similar crowd.
As
the night goes on, there are plenty of nightclub choices. The pick
is 'Central Park' (about a 15 minute taxi ride out of the centre).
In summer, they open up the outdoor area and the club triples in
size.
Clubs
like 'Central Park' stay open until about 3am, which is quite late in
comparison with clubs in the rest of Italy.
It
should come as no surprise, being an Italian city, that Florentians
(Fiorentini
in Italian) dress to impress. So, when venturing out in Florence,
one should really make an effort!
