701 Rooftop opened in summer 2024 on the seventh floor of the Lungarno Collection's Gallery Hotel Art a step from Ponte Vecchio, with two panoramic terraces pointing at Brunelleschi's Duomo, Giotto's Tower and Palazzo Vecchio and an interior by architect Michele Bonan in warm boiserie and English-club lines.
TipCocktails sit around 22 euros and the bar opens for sunset only, Tuesday to Saturday. Book a terrace table well ahead for the Duomo sightline; the room is small and reserves out fast.
Divina Terrazza crowns the Grand Hotel Cavour on Via del Proconsolo with a covered sixth-floor terrace that frames the Bargello, the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, running year-round with heat lamps in winter and vaporizers in summer alongside an American bar programme.
TipReservations are essential since the deck is small; cocktails sit around 18 to 20 euros. The covered terrace works in the cooler months when other Florence rooftops shut.
NOF runs a small Borgo San Frediano room with nightly live music since September 2011, programming Italian songwriters, rock, blues, funk and jazz quartets across a free-entry calendar that has logged more than a thousand concerts in its first decade.
TipDoors at 19:00 for aperitivo, sets from 22:00. The room fits perhaps fifty so arrive early on weekends. Cocktails and a short small-plates kitchen run through service.

Empireo has run on the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel Lucchesi since 2014, with a pool deck, an American bar and a wraparound terrace that takes in the Duomo, Santa Croce and the Arno bend, paired with the Segno kitchen for an early-evening dinner service through the warm months.
TipNon-guests need a reservation after 19:30; the pool is hotel-guest only. The view across to Santa Croce works best at sunset with a Negroni in hand.
Cosimo opened in summer 2025 on the sixth floor of the Excelsior on Piazza Ognissanti, taking over the rooftop that traded for years as Se-Sto on Arno, with a glass-walled dining room, open-air terrace seating and a 360-degree sightline that picks up the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrarno hills across the Arno.
TipThe bar runs from midday to 01:00, so a terrace drink does not need a dinner booking. Restaurant main courses run €40 to €90 and the dress code is smart casual.

Picteau anchors the Hotel Lungarno lobby on Borgo San Jacopo with a salotto-style room hung with Picasso and Cocteau pieces and a terrace pointed straight at Ponte Vecchio, where bartenders Marco Colonnelli and Vincenzo Civita run a cocktail programme paired with the Borgo San Jacopo kitchen.
TipThe riverside terrace is the seat in summer; the indoor lounge with the Picasso fireplace works year-round. Cocktails run around 22 euros.
