Starting July 1st, foreigners visiting the renaissance capital of the world – Florence, Italy – will find an extra charge on their hotel bill when they leave: a hefty 3 euros per day for staying in a hotel downtown. The new ‘bed’ tax is being appealed by hotelliers, but there’s no guarantee they’ll win.
In the meantime, if you’re planning a wedding in Florence and you want to avoid being charged for sleeping over, just move your party to the outskirts – which just happens to be the nicest area to stay in anyway!
The Chianti countryside is made up of neighboring cities where the bed tax is not applied, so you save up to 30 euros when you check out. Plus, pricing is more competitive and the welcome is Italian family style. A short drive takes you there and your civil ceremony can be held in the quaint, tuscan town halls of your choice.
