Tourist attractions:
There are so many places to visit that even months of exploration will not exhaust them. Some of the important places of interest are listed as follows:
The Piazza- the square where one can spend hours watching the swirling crowd while sipping an espresso

The Santa Maria Novella church is close to the square and worth a visit.
Nearby is the Unità d'Italia Square. The streets lined with Coffee and sweet shops, very tempting!

Florences’s restaurants beckon at Duomo located close to Via Panzani. You can’t miss Duomo, even if you tried – the giant dome dominates the Florence skyline. Highlights include: Uccello’s mural to a 14th-century Captain, Brunelleschi’s dome. Besides the endless coffee shops and bars you can stroll down to the art museums
Giardino di Boboli (Bobili Gardens) – Although Boboli is an excellent place to “relax” after a full day of Florence activities, there is still much to see here -- so pace yourself. Highlights include: a sculpture gallery called La Grotta Grande, the Isolotto (island), Limonaia (1785 gardening shed), and Bacchus Fountain.
Carpe Diem – This fine Italian restaurant serving up innovative cuisine features a spectacular terrace overlooking the city of Florence. It is one of the most popular restaurants in Florence during the hot summer months so get here early for lunch or dinner to avoid long waits.
Galleria dell’Accademia (Academy Gallery) – Plan to spend at least half of the day at Galleria dell’Accademia, which features sculptures by Michelangelo

Museo di Storia della Scienza (Institute and Museum of the History of Science) – Located in the 14th-century Palazzo Castellani, Museo di Storia della Scienza features several floors of galleries and the library of the Instituto di Storia della Scienza.

Palazzo Pitti (Pitti Palace) – Built in 1457, Palazzo Pitti consists of four museums and an art collection that is considered one of the best collections in the world.

Capella Brancacci (Brancacci Chapel) – This small chapel houses some of the most fascinating frescoes in Florence. Highlights include: Masaccio’s Tribute Money, Filippino Lippi’s St. Paul visits St. Peter in Prison, Masaccio’s Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, and St. Peter Heals the Sick (Masaccio).

San Minato al Monte (St. Minias of the Mountain) – Located in walking distance from Central Florence is San Minato al Monte and an uphill climb you’ll never forget! High on a hill above Florence highlights such as the Cardinal of Portugal Chapel and Cappella del Crocifisso can be explored as well as beautiful architecture and design such as a marble façade, mosaics, an inlaid floor, and a wooden ceiling. San Minato al Monte is located off Viale Galileo Galilei and it’s free!

Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) – This unique bridge is like no other. Ponte Vecchio (972 A.D.), the oldest of Florence’s six bridges, is more like a street than a bridge as it “houses” a wide variety of interesting shops that seem to hang right over Arno River.
Campanile (Bell Tower) – The Bell Tower of the Duomo is just under 20 feet lower than the Duomo. The 414 steps leading to the top of Campanile are difficult to climb, but well worth the effort.

Nightlife
Nightlife activities in Florence are plentiful and varied - but most of all, many of Florence's nightlife activities don't require "going out" at all! Visitors can have a cocktail on the terrace of their Florence hotel and admire the city lights or they can take a walk through a square or across Ponte Vecchio while enjoying some tasty gelato. Sure, going out is fun too, but it's always good to know that there are many other (less expensive) alternatives to clubbing until dawn.

There are also expensive clubs like La Dolce Vita where you can party all night.
Florence also has a large number of bars, Jazz cafes, and classical music performances to choose from as well

Whatever you decide to do, rest assured -- the Florence nightlife scene has something for you.
