Before you make contact
Local business guidance
Midday Break Awareness
Independent shops and offices outside the historic center often close between 13:00 and 15:30. Plan suburban errands earlier or later in the afternoon.
Municipal Appointments
City hall and municipal citizen desks (Sportelli al Cittadino / PAD) strictly prioritize online or telephone appointments, with afternoon hours limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Florentine Meal Timings
Kitchens close between 15:00 and 19:30. Locals eat dinner around 20:30, and reservations are highly recommended for dinner at popular trattorie.
Historic Center Continuous Hours
Major retail chains and central tourist shops operate continuous hours (orario continuato) from morning to evening, remaining open through lunch.
Public Holidays and August Closures
Many family-owned venues close during August for summer break, as well as on major national holidays like August 15 (Ferragosto) and June 24 (St. John the Baptist, Florence patron saint day).
