Travel tips Florence NOT for tourists

Experiencing Florence authentically means avoiding tourist traps and immersing yourself in the true local culture. Instead of following social media trends, like queuing for wine windows, famous focaccia, or an affogato, it’s better to explore the city as the Florentines do: strolling through the streets to uncover hidden corners, visiting lesser-known churches and museums, and enjoying moments of relaxation in quieter gardens. Savoring coffee at the counter, without takeaway, is a small but meaningful local ritual that allows you to slow down and embrace the city’s unique rhythm. Exploring Florence thus becomes a journey guided by authenticity and the hidden beauty around every corner.
