Take a spin
Central carousel
Why locals love it
Whether it's cute dad-and-daughter pairs or grandparents toting around a herd of kids to give Mom and Dad a break in Florence's main shopping district, families make up the main "carousel clientele." But you'll also see international students goofing off, spontaneous couples taking a spin, and more.
Why you should visit it
If you have kids in tow and walk through piazza della Repubblica at any point, it's best to just go ahead and let them ride the carousel since they'll probably ask and you'll want to prevent any traveler tantrums before they start! It's actually quite lovely, particularly at night, and makes a great spot for a Florence family photo!
