The temporary shows are always stunningly well-curated and worth your while. Palazzo Strozzi places a lot of emphasis on narratives, breaking down exhibitions to make them accessible to the average visitor; this makes it a really family-friendly place, too. You'll be encouraged to think critically and creatively about what you're seeing.

If you're used to relaxing in green spaces in your hometown or other favorite cities, Florence might be a bit of a shock—despite all its beauty, it can be tough to find serene outdoor spaces and trees. This park is a literal breath of fresh air and its nicely manicured landscape makes it well worth the bus ride to Via Bolognese!

If you have kids in tow and walk through piazza della Repubblica at any point, it's best to just go ahead and let them ride the carousel since they'll probably ask and you'll want to prevent any traveler tantrums before they start! It's actually quite lovely, particularly at night, and makes a great spot for a Florence family photo!

If you need to get some work done, read Italian newspapers or books, or just want to escape the city chaos and hang out somewhere quiet, obviously the interior of the library is ideal. But out on the open terrace, which looks out on Brunelleschi's dome, you can enjoy a meal, a coffee, or an aperitivo—and no one will boot you out!

Though there's only one screen in the whole theater, the Odeon's lineup always has a good variety of films. The cinema and its attached bistro (you can get a discount there if you show them your movie ticket) both have quite a sophisticated feel. (Bonus: the bistro does a big Sunday brunch!)

Costoli pool

In addition to cooling off, you'll spot actual Florentine families who are scarce in the historic center streets during the summertime. Italian pools are great for people-watching. If you go you will almost certainly be the only traveler present. Getting there requires a bit of hoop-jumping and most tourists would rather just suffer in the heat!

If you're a runner, jogging through the streets of central Florence dodging tourists feels a little ridiculous. Here, though, there's plenty of space for a workout, plus the scenery is nicer than in the Cascine. Don't run? Take a book and be warned: the combination of the serene surroundings and pleasant weather may lead to unintentional napping!
