Al Galluzzo, un quartiere di Firenze sud, appena usciti da Porta Romana, c'è un punto di lettura comunale. Qui si possono fare delle splendide inziative di cartonaggio.

Cos'è il cartonaggio? Il lavoro delle mani con la carta, la colla e la tua fantasia!

In the environs of Florence there are several adventure parks where you can go if you are getting tired of Florence's art.

Nowadays bakeries and cake shops in Florence still offer old-time both sweet and sour delicacies.
We can all remember a granny preparing “bread, butter and sugar” or “bread, olive oil and tomato” for us and, in even older times, in the countryside, the predecessor of water-ices was “snow, wine and sugar”.

The Fondazione Scienza e Tecnica (Science and Technical Foundation) of Florence offers the opportunity to discover the apparent “mysteries” of physics with a series of narrative-experimental workshops dedicated to curious adults and their children.

The loveliest historical parks and gardens where children can play, get to know nature, or simply stretch their legs.
The parks indicated are all in the city and have a long history to tell, like the Giardino dei Semplici botanical garden, for example, one of the oldest in the world, located in Via P. A. Micheli.

Step, step, then you arrive at the top and the view is amazing! If you want to see Florence from above you have to work a little bit but you will be rewarded for your effort.

This is where you should go: climb on the Torre san Niccolò (Tower St.Nicholas).

A space for children: colourful, unrestricting and free of charge.

On the second floor of the Biblioteca delle Oblate, a large, green-carpeted room awaits children with hundreds of books in Italian and many foreign languages.

Sometimes children like shopping as well…
It all depends on the kind of shop and what’s on offer! It depends on being able to touch, play, turn over the pages…

There are wonderful parks downtown which are also equipped with playgrounds where kids can have fun with swings, slides and wooden castles.

These are perfect places where to free the liveliness of the youngest tourists, though they are also pleasant places for adults longing for some green.

A rich programme of shows and workshops for children in the garden of the LibriLiberi bookshop
In the centre of Florence, just a short stroll away from Piazza San Marco, there is a bookshop with a garden.
