2024 has already begun… or has it?
Well, if you plan a vacation in Tuscany and head to a villa in Florence, you might be surprised to find that the city’s traditional New Year’s celebrations have actually not yet happened…
In Florence, New Year’s is actually celebrated on March 25th! Of course, many ring in the new year on the 1st of January like the rest of us today but there are still celebrations and events to mark the event on the 25th of March as well.
Florence is a truly incredible city that is hard to fully imagine unless you get a chance to wander around its stunning historic centre for yourself. Full of astounding architectural gems, glittering churches, world-class museums, lovely flagship stores, ancient palaces, historic cafes, excellent restaurants, grand town squares, and dazzling statuary and fountains: it is a feast for the eyes with something to see no matter where you turn. The list of attractions in the city, therefore, is truly staggering and endless and those who book a villa in Florence might find it hard to know where to start.
