Things to do as a family in Florence I visited Florence solo and loved strolling the streets late at night drinking wine and eating tiramisu and gelato And I was so excited to explore with my family and see how kid friendly Florence is even at night Here are a few things you can do with kids in Florence on a Saturday night -ride the carousel and Piazza della Repubblica -buy toys near the Duomo from walking vendors -eat at Mercato Centrale they have everything from seafood and burgers to gelato and donuts and close at midnight -see a street performance at Piazza della Repubblica It s very lively with kids running around vendors selling things and street performers I felt safe exploring Florence solo even when I was out after midnight And I also felt super safe exploring it with my children.
