The most socially active district of Florence, Santa Croce is frequented nightly by an international mix of amiable party-seekers who pour out of the winding roads lined with leather shops and other Florentine novelties and into the enormous Piazza Santa Croce.

The arrangement of the bars, clubs, and cafés makes the area perfect for a pub crawl, and the crowds often overflow into the streets.

On weekends, Santa Croce’s main strip along Via de’ Benci can seem like one big party as the festive and always fashionable crowds wander from place to place in search of the best dancing, drinking, and flirting scenes.
