Tickets for Shows & Music in Florence

Florence may be the epicenter of Italian culture. The Tuscan capital saw the genesis of the Renaissance and boasts architecture from well before that time.

Opportunities to absorb art, history, cuisine and music are abundant, easy to access and filled with variety.

After a day of museum-hopping and snapping photos of piazzas, conclude your day of discovery with a show, music or nightlife in Florence. With options ranging from pub crawls to concerts, you have plenty of options for capping off a day to satisfy all of your senses.

Italian Opera Concerts

Even if you’re new to opera, a concert in Florence is the perfect initiation to this emotional and powerful art. At just 70 minutes, opera concerts present you a sampling of some of Italy’s - and the world’s - most beloved arias.

With sublime venues like medieval churches or museums, the acoustics will astound you along with your surroundings.

While the program varies, you’ll witness top talents singing Italian-language arias accompanied by piano, cello and more. Your performance may spotlight one to four singers, with pieces chosen to match their ranges.

Hear works from Puccini, Verdi, Rossini and Bellini with occasional international surprises. Some concerts are styled around the Three Tenors. Although you won’t be graced with their unique talent, you’ll watch artists with similar ranges recreate some of the Three Tenors’ most famous performances.

The centuries-old churches of Santo Stefano and Santa Monaca are the most common venues, The intimate chapel-like settings with soaring acoustics make the music even more enjoyable. Even the farthest seats from the performers afford you clear enough views to take in the singers’ gestures and facial expressions.

If you want to experience one of opera’s most celebrated voices, hire a limousine service to whisk you to a concert in Lajatico. Andrea Bocelli’s hometown of Lajatico sits a little less than 1.5 hours from Florence and features the Teatro del Silenzio.

Bocelli makes regular performances at this amphitheater set among the Tuscan hills. Purchase your tickets separately, and your driver will make transportation to and from this famed locale simple and luxurious.

Opera Concerts plus dinner packages are an affordable and convenient way to round out your evening. After a two- to three-course meal at a nearby restaurant, reach the venue in a short walk of 5 to 10 minutes.

For classical music aficionados, there are chances to take in entirely instrumental concerts. Set in either the Santo Stefano Church or the Zeffirelli Museum, let musicians from the Orchestra Da Camera move you with works by Pachelbel, Verdi, Bach and Vivaldi.

Pub crawls in Florence

Very different from a refined evening filled with cantatas, a pub crawl of Florence is boozy sightseeing at its best. Join a group of like-minded travelers for a 3-hour exploration of the city’s most lively quarters and hidden watering holes.

With all drinks included plus entertaining, informative guides, it’s sure to be a top memory during your vacation in the Tuscan capital.

Meet your guides and fellow merrymakers in a centrally-located park. Make some introductions eased with plenty of wine. Then, head toward three establishments around town while partaking in some standard as well as drinking-themed sightseeing along the way.

Try a specialty cocktail in a trendy bar. Sip  - or shoot  - a glass of limoncello ordered from a mysterious “wine window.” Your guides will lead you to the vibrant Via dei Benci for your final drink, where you’re free to continue your rabble rousing or head home to recover.
