Firenze Card on March 25th!

Today is the first day of a new Florentine year! The Capodanno Fiorentino has been celebrated for centuries on March 25th...It corresponds to the equinoxe, the beginning of spring, and to the Annunciation.
Even though the year begins officially on January 1st since 1750 now, Florentines cannot imagine this special day without any special event!
Today there were guided tours and pageants in the city up to the church of SS. Annunziata. But we are also glad to inform everybody that the Firenze Card is now available in the city and in the tourist information office of Via Cavour n. 1r (close to the Medici Palace). It is promoted by the Municipality of Florence, the Ministry for the Arts and Cultural Activities, the Regional Direction of Cultural Heritage, the Special Superintendence for Historical, Artistic and Ethnic-anthropological Heritage and for the Museum Circuit of the city of Florence, the Province of Florence and the Chamber of Commerce of Florence, in collaboration with ATAF.

With the Firenze card you won't have to queue anymore and for 72 hours you will be admitted to over 30 museums and city buses. The Firenze card costs 50€ per person. See details: www.firenzecard.it ....and have a nice stay!
