Fun Things To Do In Florence

We are always looking for fun things to do in Florence.  We sometimes search for ideas with Google, like "Florence's best kept secrets" or "guy stuff in Florence".  The search results usually provide at least one activity that we decide to pursue. 

Another source is input from friends and acquaintances who have lived in Florence for a long time.  One friend recently recommended attending a temporary exhibition at the Uffizi Gallery about stolen art.  It was fascinating and admission was free.

We recently came across a list of activities on a bulletin board, pictured below.  It turns out that the activities on the list are things NOT to do in Florence. In other words, the activities are considered violations of local laws.  Each violation carries a €160 fine (about $170).

The dilemma is that the activities look like a LOT of fun.  Greg is interested in activity #8--camping in the middle of a large square sounds like a good time.  Susan is especially intrigued by activity #49.  She has always wanted to dance in a fountain, like the Trevi Fountain in Rome.  The "activity fee", the fine, seems a bit high, but sometimes having a good time is expensive. 

When you visit us here in Florence, you can select a prohibited activity from the list and maybe we can do it together.  Good times.

Camping in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence

P.S.  The list above was posted on a bulletin board for U.S. students visiting Florence on a study abroad program.  Apparently, some visiting students know how to have a good time and need to be reminded where the line is drawn here in Florence.
