Romantic Things to Do in Florence

Ahhhhh. These days it feels like not only heat is in the air but also love. There are lovebirds fluttering all over this city, and summer definitely brings summer loving. Florence is jam-packed with romantic venues to take your special someone. From a slow walk along the Arno River to a secluded spot watching the sun set over Florence, you can’t go wrong.

Passeggiata sull’Arno (Walk on the Arno) is a great start to your romantic holiday in Florence. The buildings along the river give you a sense of how this authentic Renaissance city thrived during the Medici dynasty. A slow walk as you gaze at the Tuscan hills that peak through every step of the way.

A walk up to San Miniato al Monte Church always sets hearts aflame. Especially at sunset. Making the trek up the steep white staircase, hand in hand, to reach the top and the view of the facade of San Miniato can give you the chills. We recommend bringing a nice, cool bottle of white wine to share as you watch the sun cascade ever so subtly down the Tuscan sky.

Venture to a Cioccolateria dating back to 1936, and you will discover the traditional methods of chocolate making. A Chocolate and Wine Tasting experience can you and yours feel like young lovers again, and its a delicious way to spend an afternoon, indulging in enticing chocolate and delectable Italian wines to match each taste.
