How we make Florence.city

Who we are

Florence.City is an independent, family-run guide to Florence. We live in the city. We are not an official tourism body, and we do not speak for the Comune or for any venue.

Place data

The catalogue currently holds 2,807 places. Every place is sourced from Google Places. Every place in the catalogue is re-checked against Google on a rolling cycle. Listings are ranked by a transparent score, not by editors. Nothing on Florence.city is paid, sponsored, or affiliate-driven. We accept no compensation for inclusion.

How guide facts are verified

Editorial guides are separate from the ranked listings. Where a guide states a checkable fact (hours, fines, festival dates, official rules), we cite the official source and publish the date that fact was checked on the page itself. We never claim a review cadence in prose. If checking stops, the date stops moving.

Some food guides publish prices as observed on a date (from menus or carts) rather than from an official source. Those pages say so plainly.

Guides are drafted with AI assistance and finished by a human. No guide ships unread. We do not invent places: every venue a guide links to must already exist in the catalogue.

What we do not claim

We are not an official tourism website. We do not take payment for inclusion, ranking, or editorial mention. A guide's “checked” date is a verification stamp, not a promise that nothing has changed since.

Tell us we are wrong

If a place has closed, a fact is stale, or a guide is off, email contact@florence.city with the page and what is wrong. We fix listing data on the next refresh cycle and update affected guides directly.
