Florence offers a lot of opportunities for entertainment, with many clubs, pubs and discos. Florence's nights can be spent not only inside a club but even on the road looking at the marvelous monuments illuminated by the moon, or simply walking throughout the roads looking at artists that sing and play with you. Don't forget to go to see the beautiful view of Florence by night from Piazzale Michelangelo. The city's sizeable population of British and American students ensures a supply of English-language films, and the highbrow cultural calendar is filled out with seasons of classical music, opera and dance to rival the best in Europe.

Clubs and pubs are located almost in the centre of the city, around the Cathedral or in other famous squares of the city you can find many small places where you can enjoy of a beer or a glass of the best Chianti wine. Most of them are Irish pubs but, you don't worry there are also English one, American, and even Spanish and if you want to taste Tuscan specialities you absolutely have to spend an evening in an Enoteca. Entry to clubs is expensive at around €13, although tickets usually include a free drink at the bar. In the centre there are even some little discos, don't worry about dressing, you can enter anywhere without problems. If you don't want to close yourself in a pub go for a walk under the stars and go to listen to the street musicians.

You might find information in English about concerts and shows at the kiosks in Piazza Repubblica and inside the Palazzo Vecchio; otherwise, consult the tourist offices, check out advertising hoardings around town or get hold of the Firenze Spettacolo monthly listings magazine.
