Sunset on the bridges
Stand on Ponte Santa Trinita or Ponte alla Carraia as the sun goes down and look upstream to Ponte Vecchio catching the last light. Both bridges are about 10 minutes from San Frediano and far less crowded than Ponte Vecchio itself.
Dinner across the river
The Oltrarno is full of small trattorias and wine bars where the tables are close and the menus are short. Book ahead on Fridays and Saturdays.
Cocktails by candlelight
Mysterium was made for the second half of a date: low light, red candles, crystal chandeliers, pierced brass lanterns throwing patterns on the walls, and a fifteenth-century vault overhead. Sit at the bar and let the bartender choose, or take a corner of the lounge. Message +39 349 067 6793 to hold a table.
Staying out late
We are open until 1 am, and until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays. The walk back to the center over Ponte alla Carraia takes about 9 minutes.
