General Celebration Day Rules for Tourists:

1. Shops and Restaurants: Many shops and restaurants may have reduced hours or be closed on holidays. It’s always good to check in advance or make reservations for special days.

2. Transportation: On public holidays, public transportation schedules may change, so always check for updated timetables for buses and trains.

3. Crowds: Expect large crowds, especially during popular festivals like San Giovanni, Ferragosto, or New Year's Eve. Arrive early to secure spots for events, parades, or fireworks.

4. Cultural Etiquette: While participating in events, remember to show respect for local customs and traditions. Florentines often dress well for religious and national celebrations, so dressing appropriately is a sign of respect.

5. Museums and Attractions: Always check if museums or historical sites are open on specific public holidays. Many offer special programs or events during celebration days.
