Description:

Discover the Florence that exists beyond the well-known classical beauty and Renaissance architecture on this walking tour with a gastronomical twist. Visit famous highlights and must-see attractions before exploring the lively San Lorenzo Market and sampling local foods at the Mercato Centrale.

Meet your guide at the Piazza Santa Croce in central Florence and start out on foot to see the striking basilica and vibrant square. Pass by the abbey of Badia Fiorentina and the historic Bargello Museum and stroll toward the serene banks of the Arno to get a view of the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's iconic bridge.

Next, enter the San Lorenzo Market, an open-air market brimming with stalls of all kinds that sell everything from Italian leather to clothing, souvenirs, and food from all over Tuscany. From there, step into the Mercato Centrale, a charmingly restored covered marketplace, and ascend to the gourmet food court on the second floor.

With 12 individual stalls and produce ranging from cheeses and Chianti wines to tempting baked goods, you can sample an array of authentic delicacies to really get a feel for the delicious flavors and aromas that Florence is known for.
