Florence blog

The usual. You´re going to spend a few days in another city and do not want under any circumstances to meet with hordes of tourists, summer songs and end up eating in a franchise boutique. None of that. Relax, we know what you want: to find the places where you´ll feel like one more, where you will not hesitate to visit, , be there,  without euphemism.

We have developed a guide for hipsters in Florence. Shops, bars and restaurants to find people of your style in the the city, you will be mixing with locals and , as always, good music will be heard.

Shopping:

Officina Vintage, via Borgo degli Albizi 83

Located on Borgo degli Albizi 83 you will find a vintage fashion store offering clothing for men and women and accessories with a unique design with a retro feel. It features famous clothing firms in Italy but also with the signing of young designers. It´s probably the coolest clothing store in Florence. So far so good. The bad: it´s a bit expensive. But we offer options for all budgets. Keep reading.

Via dei Ceri Vintage Serragli 26

Here you will find really old but modern clothing with a retro feel. The store is like the house of a friend who is selling clothes that he is tired of seeing. So wander and gossip with confidence and take advantage of their prices if you find something you like.

Nadine, Lungarno Acciaiuoli, 22

Very near the Ponte Vecchio is an easy to find store, although not all glamor, you can find interesting clothing bargains, go take a look. Furthermore, their assistants are very nice.

Breakfast or brunch:

If you want to impress someone with a snack or a great  breakfast after a good night, there is nothing more than Florentine than to go for coffee and pastries. Here some charming places.

Coffee News: Via del Giglio, 59

Here  we have cappuccinos prepared with the same love with which your mother prepares  weekend pick-nicks. They also have a variety of home made cakes and pastries  that will make your day a very sweet one.

° We Murate – Literary Café Florence (Piazza delle Murate, Firenze)

Called Le Murate because it is surrounded by walls, which is not surprising since before it was a prison. Now, in the historic center of Florence, we find the oldest and most charming place in the city. Worth going for breakfast, a snack or to see the  sunset and have an aperitif prior to attending  any of the interesting events scheduled, whether exhibitions, reading stories or acoustic shows.

At night:

Well, night falls and we suppose you want to go to a bar, and move around subtly with your gin and tonic

Angi´s Pub, Via de Neri, 35r

In the district of Santa Croce, we find this little pub where the clientele will welcome you as a local. Frequented by local pseudo-artists, restless travelers, final year college students… it is very indie, ask for  “Andy´s book” and leave your artistic mark with either a drawing, a text or a pentagram, as customers have been doing for many years.
