Looking at going to Florence for a few days with wife and teenage boys(15 and 12). They will tolerate a few museums but what else is there to do in Florence that teenage boys would enjoy?

Our slightly older teenaged granddaughters really enjoyed the cooking class at MamaFlorence that combined a guided bike ride outside of the city followed by a cooking class and lunch. They also enjoyed the Galileo Science Museum on a different day. They were happy that several Galileo sites were noted on the bike tour the previous day. Be sure to give them a generous gelato allowance for Florence.

Walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo. Good exercise and wonderful views.
Another idea is the Santo Spirito outdoor market and square. One section of the market when we were there was “Everything’s a Euro” - stuff you don’t necessarily need, but fun to walk through and look.

hey hey matthew
when is this trip and what is a few days? are you flying into florence or coming from another city?
what are they interested in? they can look up things to do & see in florence, roam around. florence is always a busy/crowded city
florence boat "gondola" tour on the arno
paintandwineflorence.it
they have soft drinks for kids and bring home a personal souvenir
(crowntours.com in rome for paint and sip with pizza)
townsofitaly.com
cooking classes (pizza & gelato), bike ride tour
mercatocentrale.com/ florence
roam thru this market place with shops, cafes, restaurants, crafters
foodtourinflorence.com (food tour or cooking class)
eatingeurope.com
stop for gelato, keeping name of place and what was their favorite
take the train to lucca & pisa, it will be a long day, just got out of the hustle & bustle.
this should help you get started with ideas, hope it helps. good luck and have fun
