HOMEFlorence New Years Eve 2024
Guide to Florence new years eve. Top fireworks, parties events and hotels for NYE 2023-2024.
Beautiful Firenze!The iconic city of Florence celebrates new years eve with music, fine dining and fireworks, a selection of top parties and events that caters to all tastes. We really didn't expect anything less from this beautiful location!
The new year celebrations are characeterised by public gatherings and street parties, with large crowds taking to the streets to enoy the entertainment and just soak up the atmosphere in this fabulous Renaissance city.
The Big Concert in Piazzale Michelangelo
We are waiting to hear if this is returning for this year. Last year you could venture to Piazza del Carmine e Oltrarno for the travelling bands, acrobatic shows in Piazza della Signoria and classical music in San Lorenzo.
There isn't an official municipal fireworks display as such, but many of the larger hotels and restaurants will set off their own displays, frequently from their roof gardens which makes for a very dramatically lit skyline come midnight!
Fireworks
Top viewing points to make sure you get the very best views would be the square in front of the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio bridge (if you can get there early enough - normally it would be packed) or anywhere along the banks of the Arno River that cuts right through the heart of the city.
If you're prepared to go a little further out you'll easily find some more secluded spots in the hills overlooking the city, where the panoramic view of the pyrotechnics over the city skyline is truly a sight to behold.
Bars & Clubs
For a more lively crowd the nightlife scene in Florence is especially hectic on New Years Eve - top venues will be looking to sell tickets for their events closer to the time this year, so check out venues for more details.
Medieval Festival
This is an event that appeals to me hugely on a personal level, as the medieval history of Florence and the surrounding areas of Tuscany is something I find truly fascinating. The nearby small town of Bagno di Ripoli normally hold their annual medieval festival on new years eve at the Antico Spedale del Bigallo, where there is a masked ball and medieval style gala banquet. Nothing has been announced yet for 2023/24 but please do check locally.

New Years Eve Hotels
Florence has some of the best hotels anywhere in the world, and is actually fairly reasonably priced compared to Rome, another city that attracts large number of visitors over the Christmas and new year period.
Florence is a very walkable city, so we advise you to find accommodation near the river and not too far from the Ponte Vecchio and you'll be able to reach most popular sites comfortably on foot.
