Florence Gay Cruising & Fetish Guide

A membership card is required for all cruising bars and clubs in Italy, usually the Arcigay UNO CLUB card. If you don't have one yet, you can usually acquire it at the entrance. (For foreigners 8 € for 3 months. When you acquire the card you need to show your photo ID card; after that you only need the membership card.)
