Florence under the stars is an initiative borne of the partnership between Florence’s Tourism Agency and the Tour Guide Association of Florence and surrounding areas. The event is aimed at tourists and those living in Florence.
The evening lecture tours are conducted by professional tour guides and illustrate the hidden and curious aspects of the town, following the footsteps of famous figures, historical memories and myths to narrate under a starry sky.

Cool and pleasant routes following the roads and piazzas of the town centre with the guidance of passionate and competent professionals.

Choose your tour, book and enjoy the charm of Florence’s summer evenings!
