There are some cities that just scream: “have a cocktail!” and as far as we’re concerned Florence is definitely one of them.
You’ll have plenty packed in to your time here with so much art and culture to take in, not to mention all the shopping on offer, so it only seems right to spend an evening relaxing with a few refreshing spritz, Negronis or something even more exotic.
