The Festa delle Rificolone is a traditional festival in Florence, Italy, usually held on the evening of September 7th each year. The festival dates back to the Renaissance and is a celebration of the birth of the Virgin Mary and a tribute to the farmers who come to the city on September 8th to sell their agricultural products and handicrafts. The main feature of the Lantern Festival is the lantern parade. Children will take to the streets holding paper lanterns of various shapes and bright colors, which are usually lit by candles or modern LED lights. Traditionally, these lanterns are made into various patterns, and sometimes children's own lanterns are also involved in the parade. This festival also has an interesting custom: children will try to "attack" other people's lanterns with blowpipes or other means to extinguish them, which is a way of celebration and game. The Florence Lantern Festival is not only an event to commemorate tradition and history, but also an opportunity for families and communities to come together and enjoy a happy time at night.

Best Things to Do

Museums

Themed exhibition halls

好脾气懒猫

The Fitz Art Gallery is truly breathtaking. Its collection is incredibly rich, and you&#39;ll find world-famous paintings at every glance! However, there are so many works that you can only see a fraction of them in five hours. If you don&#39;t do your research ahead of time, you&#39;ll easily get lost. It&#39;s also very crowded, and popular exhibition halls are often crowded, so be sure to reserve time in advance and be physically fit. A full day of walking around is exhausting, but it&#39;s definitely worth it!

There are a few must-see treasures in the museum, so do your research ahead of time.
1. Botticelli &ndash; The Birth of Venus
2. Botticelli &ndash; La Primavera
3. Leonardo da Vinci &ndash; The Annunciation
4. Michelangelo &ndash; Doni Tondo
5. Raphael &ndash; Madonna del Cardellino
6. Titian &ndash; Venus of Urbino
7. Caravaggio &ndash; Medusa
8. Giotto &ndash; Maest&agrave; Ognissanti
9. Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi &ndash; Annunciazione
10. Rembrandt van Rijn &ndash; Self-Portrait as an Old Man

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Night view

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is truly magnificent. Admission is free, allowing you to experience the grandeur of its interior without having to pay. Tickets can be purchased through the side entrance, bypassing the main entrance line, and include access to the bell tower. However, if you&#39;re looking for a panoramic view of Florence from above, you can choose between the dome or Giotto&#39;s bell tower, or both. The dome offers a close-up view of the frescoes and panoramic views of the city. The bell tower also offers a fantastic view, allowing you to capture the dome in full photographic space. Both steps are quite demanding, as they are quite long and challenging.

Although they are more expensive, these are safe and guaranteed tickets which can be bought on dates when the official tickets are sold out, especially closer to your visit date. We received the online tickets a day before our entry. Entrance was crowded but the staff are helpful to guide you to your designated ticket queue line. Inside the galleria was mildly crowded. The Michelangelo David statue was magnificent and there is ample space for you to admire and take pictures. Overall I would recommend this place.

Pitti Palace

The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn&#39;t go there

Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.
