Are you thinking about spending Christmas in Florence? The cradle of the Renaissance is one of the best places to spend a Christmas vacation, as a couple, a family or with friends.
Be amazed by the decorations in the streets and piazzas, stop in the Piazza del Duomo and admire the traditional Christmas tree which is lit for the first time on the day of the Immaculate Conception.
Stay around to admire the nativity scene with life-sized statues, in the grounds of the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.
Then wander the streets of the city looking for traditional Christmas markets, a real must and something not to be missed by people visiting Florence at Christmas.
With the FH55 Hotel Calzaiuoli’s special offers you can have a relaxing time and benefit from the hotel’s many services.
The Christmas offer includes:
In the morning, you can enjoy a rich breakfast, served buffet style, in the dedicated room. In this way you can better recharge your batteries before taking to the streets of Florence once more.
Upon your return, have a snack, enjoy an aperitif or opt for a delicious hot chocolate at our bar.
If you’d like to attend an event, a concert or a show, our concierge team can suggest the best places and times and even help with buying tickets on your behalf.
If you reach the hotel by car, you can park in an affiliated garage, in the historic center and with valet parking.
