4 Best Gay Bars in Florence
Florence may be most famous as the Cradle of Renaissance, but it also boasts a fabulous queer legacy.
Long before the rainbow flag, Florence boasted a gay scene as colourful as Botticelli&#;s Primavera. Many Florentines, including leading artists like Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo, engaged in copious, though clandestine, homosexual affairs. Yet collectively they promoted a queer culture that celebrated male beauty and intimate connections in ways that resonate with LGBTQ+ interpretations today.
Not to mention gifting us some of the greatest art and sculpture in Western culture through their rendering of the male form.
Florence is still a fantastic city for LGBTQ+ travellers. Whether you&#;re looking for a cosy spot to sip Chianti while watching the sunset or you’re more in the mood for dancing and a black room, Florence has something for everyone. Here are some of the best gay bars in Florence.

Florence is a gay-friendly city with fashion designers and students making up a significant portion of Florence’s population – if not to the extent of Milan &#; and let’s be real, fashion and the LGBTQ+ world go as hand-in-hand as Dol Florence, a centre of medieval trade and finance and elongated ruled by the Medici family, was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, represented by names such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
