Itinerary
- San Lorenzo: The San Lorenzo Market: This is the beating heart of the district and comprises two main parts:
The Outdoor Leather Market: Surrounding the Mercato Centrale building, countless stalls line the streets, primarily selling a vast array of leather goods – jackets, handbags, belts, and wallets. You'll also find souvenirs, scarves, and other typical Florentine crafts here. It's a lively atmosphere where vendors call out to passersby, and a bit of friendly bargaining is part of the fun.
The Mercato Centrale (Central Market - Indoor Food Market): Housed in a magnificent 19th-century iron and glass building, this market is a paradise for food lovers. - Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore: Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni): Directly in front of the cathedral, the octagonal Baptistery is one of Florence's oldest buildings, with roots tracing back to Roman times. It's famous for its three sets of magnificent bronze doors, particularly the gilded eastern doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, dubbed the "Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo, for their stunning artistry and revolutionary use of perspective in depicting Old Testament scenes. The interior boasts a breathtaking Byzantine mosaic ceiling.
- Ponte Vecchio: The Ponte Vecchio, meaning "Old Bridge," is arguably the most iconic and distinct bridge in Florence, and indeed, one of the most famous bridges in the world. It's much more than just a crossing over the Arno River; it's a living piece of history, architecture, and commerce.
