Florence gay accommodation and travel guide

Gay Homestays accommodation network lists gay and lesbian guest house, bed and breakfast, tourist apartment and private gay accommodation in Florence, Italy. Florence does not have a huge gay and lesbian scene but there are several gay and lesbian bars in the capital of Tuscany, though the magnificent architecture and art are perhaps the main reason to visit Florence. Piccolo Café (Borgo Santa Croce 23r) and YAG Bar (Via de Macci 8) are gay bars close to one another offering a relaxed atmosphere for both gay men and lesbians open from 5pm.

YAG is the biggest of the gay venues in Florence and also offers computer terminals if you need to go online. BK bar (Via Alfieri 95) also provides occasional live music and other organised events. Crisco and Silver Stud are strictly for male clientele and have a range of dark rooms, videos and strip shows. Fabrik is a bigger gay venue just 15km outside of Florence.

At the forefront of the renaissance period, Florence was world-renowned for its impressive art and architecture with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo and Boticelli. It remains one of the most visited cities across Europe and once there, it is easy to understand why. The sights of Piazza di Santa Croce and Piazza della Signoria are unmissable though saving your visit until early evening is advisable as, during the day, viewing these overcrowded sights can be difficult and uncomfortable in this heavily tourist-centred city. Ponte Vecchio is also better at night without the distraction of the daytime jewellery stalls.

Tuscan cuisine is at the heart of traditional Italian cooking.  There is an abundance of restaurant in Florence dotted throughout the city offering high quality food which can be pricey within the main tourist areas, however exploring less populated streets you can find more reasonable priced food.
