Hotels for children in Florence

Florence is one of the cities with the most hotel beds per inhabitant in the world. Unfortunately, the large number of hotels does not imply that the accommodation is especially cheap.

Actually, in Florence we can find cheaper hotels or apartments than in nearby cities such as Rome or Venice, even so, a normal double room, about 15 minutes from the old town can cost around 60 or 70 euros a night.

When traveling with children to Florence, the ideal is to be as close to the center as possible, but logically, the prices will increase as we get closer, unless we opt for a hostel or a bed and breakfast, some of the which are pretty good

Florence also has a wide range of apartments in all neighborhoods, which is a very appropriate option if our stay is going to be more than 4 days or we have very young children and we want something more freedom.

Another option, if what we have in mind is to visit the area of ​​Tuscany, is to stay in an agrotourism in the outskirts of Florence, in contact with nature. From there we can go to the center to make the visits we want or enjoy the tranquility of rural Italy.

Italian cuisine is famous all over the world and is characterized by a lot of children and adults. Everywhere you will find places to taste pizza and ice cream, two of the essentials in Florentine cuisine.

In addition to the pizzerias, you will see many sites of 'pizza al taglio' or pizza cut, where it is very cheap to buy portions to go. Another interesting option is the trattorias or small family restaurants where people usually eat well and cheaply.

Of course, there are also many good restaurants in Florence where you can taste Tuscan delights a la carte. You can finish a meal with 'buon sabore' by taking a rich capuccino or a shot of limoncello, the famous Italian lemon liqueur.

Of course, if you want to eat well without paying too much, avoid the most expensive areas of the city, such as Piazza Della Repubblica and Piazza Della Signoria.

When calculating the amount of meals, bear in mind that in Italy it is customary to charge a supplement for service (coperto) and between 10 and 16% of taxes, which are sometimes included in the price and other times, do not.

If you liked Italian gastronomy and want to buy a product to take back home, compare the delicious oils, the hundreds of types of pasta or the sausages and cheeses. You will remember the trip even more when you are tasting them in your city.
