The winter holidays are
a special time of year to be in Florence. The city is a patchwork of
palaces and piazzas, criss-crossed by romantic lamplit alleys that glow with
warm invitation to step inside to enjoy a warming glass of red wine or a mug of
hot chocolate. Along the Arno, a Winter Park is set up each December to bring a
little bit of the North Pole to Italy: its ice skating rink and snow-covered
ski slope offer open-air entertainment for the whole family. Be sure to venture
out of your long term apartment rentals in Florence to take in all of the magic
of winter in the city.
