4/24/2011 Easter Vacations in Florence: explosion of the Cart
January 25, 2011
It is time to book your favourite room at Mr My Resort to spend Easter vacations in Florence! April is a special month to visit Florence because of the weather: not cold and still not warm. It is something very sweet, ideal to fall in love with our beautiful city and its Spring parfums… So, what are you waiting for? Here at Mr My Resort B&B the flowererd patio is an ideal place to spend a relaxing getaway! Check rooms availability and price on our official web site www.mrflorence.it using the link at the top of the page and stay at Mr My Resort Inn in the Florence city downtown!
This year Easter falls on Sunday April 24th, and on that day there is the most special event of Easter week in Florence: the explosion of the cart “scoppio del carro” in the Duomo square. If this is your first time in Florence you can’t miss it!
This is an old popular and religious tradition ending in fireworks, meaning a peaceful and rich year for the city of Florence. All locals are used to go to the Piazza del Duomo to see this spectacular tradition attracting also many tourists.
**During Easter week all museums and shops are regulary open. Shops will be closed just on Sunday Easter Day, but Uffizi, Academy, Pitti Palace, etc. are open 8-15am – 6.50pm as usual (always better to pre-book your museum tickets! If you’re a guest of Mr My Resort you can ask us to book the tickets for you in advance without additional costs).
**Restaurants: open all days, as usual. The tradition here in Italy says that you must spend the Pasquetta Day on April 25th outside the city, together with your family, and with a pic-nic set to enjoy traditional Easter food in the countryside, parks, green areas. Easter day is usually at home or at the restaurant, and many menu include lamb, spinach, boiled eggs, chocolate cakes decorated with Spring flowers or simple home-made cakes with almonds and organge flowers essence.

Also, we will be happy to give our best tips about romantic places to eat for your Valentine’s night dinner in our city: from the high-level restaurants to the small typical florentine trattorias in candlelit.
Here we give you a short list of our most favourite romantic places to go:
- Piazzale Michelangelo: city view, very busy, ideal to take pictures
- Chiesa di San Miniato al Monte square: much better than the Piazzale and at a short walkable distance from it. Incredibly romantic, with or without sunset.
- Ponte Vecchio Old Bridge: since Florence is not busy at this time of the year, this is a very charming place where to admire the city and sit down the caffé Golden View wich is located at the end of the Bridge and offering a great view of the river and of the Ponte Vecchio.
- The Lungarni at night, on the Arno river from Santa Croce to Santa Trinita bridge. No words
We’re looking forward to meet you at Mr My Resort!
