I'm going to be in Florence between Christmas and New Year's Day. Does anyone know whether restaurants ans museums are generally open during that time? Any thoughts on what to do on New Year's Eve? Thanks!

Hi, all museums will be closed on both Christmas and New Year. Restaurants...some will be closed, the ones that belong to hotels will be open. Locals will be celebrating with their families at home. Eat lentils on New Year's Day for good luck. And churches will be open and there will be solemn masses. Even if you are not a Catholic, you will be welcome and it is an interesting experience.P.S. Forgot to say that many places will close earlier on Christmas and New Year's Eves.
