Florence sleeps early but theres nightlife after 11pm if you know where. Space Club on Via Palazzuolo near Santa Maria Novella stays open until 4am weekends proper underground electronic music scene zero tourists mostly locals and international students from university quarter

Late food lampredotto carts near SMN station serve traditional Florentine tripe sandwiches until 2am some nights especially weekends also kebab places around Via dei Ginori near university area cheap filling food when everything else closed better than tourist panini shops

Volume bar in Santo Spirito has live music some nights goes until 3am much better crowd than tourist bars near Ponte Vecchio. Arno riverbanks get lively summer nights with people drinking hanging out near Ponte alle Grazie though technically not legal just saying perfect view of illuminated Palazzo Vecchio after dark
