When in Florence, Execute as the Gays Perform – How to Party in Florence
Renaissance art-filled galleries and museums, towering church domes, six-packed sculptures, the best ice cream in the world and nearby verdant vineyards producing wine…lots of wine – these are what most associate with Florence, the capital of the Tuscany region of Italy. The culturally rich city is also home to such wonders as the tombs of Michelangelo and Ponte Vecchio, a scenic multi-layered bridge filled with shops.
However, despite the undeniably male lover undertones of the urban area – with its sexy nude male statues dotted around – what Florence is not known for, is its gay nightlife.

Florence is a gay-friendly city with fashion designers and students making up a significant portion of Florence’s population – if not to the extent of Milan – and let’s be real, fashion and the LGBTQ+ world go as hand-in-hand as Dolce & Gabbana.
