Visiting Florence (Firenze) for the first time? Or maybe the tenth? Either way, prepare to find yourself in a world of timeless beauty, mesmerized by the history and culture tucked into every corner of this compact town. In order to enjoy your visit fully, plan to avoid the soaring heat and humidity of July and August. Then arrange to stay in just the right spot for launching your explorations of the art capital of Italy. With 35,000 hotel beds and 23,000 other facilities to choose from, with a little thought and effort you can discover and book the perfect lodging.

Choose accommodations that are a fit for you and your family or friends!

Hotels: A hotel may be your best option if you prefer to stay in high-quality lodging that offers a wealth of services.

Bed & Breakfasts: In Florence there are many B & B\’s, some them located in the owner\’s home. Often more economical than hotels, Bed & Breakfast lodging offers more of an opportunity to converse with owners and with other guests. In some cases you can book not only a room but a private bathroom as well.

Florence Hostel: the cheapest solution. If you are not looking for special privacy, go on with a shared room with shared bathroom. You can save quite a lot.

Apartments: Whether you are traveling alone, with your family, or with a group, you can find a Florence apartment that\’s just right for your budget, needs, and tastes. If you are with friends or family, you will have more available space to relax in a comfortable living room than you would in a hotel, bed and breakfast, or hostel. You\’ll have the freedom to come and go as you please, and can do your own cooking if you wish – and you can save money by booking only one apartment, not several hotel rooms!

Now, where: of course the city centre. As Florence is such a compact city, all the attractions and things to se are located in the heart of the city. So, choose your accommodation here and discover the city walking.
