Markets in Florence, Italy

In order to experience the real Florence and Florentine life you have to visit one of the numerous street markets. From Piazza S. Lorenzo to Via dell'Ariento, all around the Basilica of San Lorenzo you can find probably the most important market of the city. Just walk around searching for clothing, articles in leather, souvenirs and much more. As part of this market, you'll find the fruit and vegetable market in the nearby piazza del mercato centrale. Walk in and discover. It opens every morning from 7.00 to 14.00, except for Sunday and public holidays.

Situated in the very beautiful Parco delle Cascine, Mercato “delle Cascine” opens each Tuesday (from 7 to 14) , which is probably the biggest and cheapest market in town! If you're searching for fruits and vegetables, clothing and houseware stands, antiquities, telephone cards, and shoes, you’re in the right place. On the second Sunday of each months, there is a antique market on Piazza Santo Spirito for people who are serious into antique shopping.

Many more markets in Florence streets offer all you need – You should visit at least one of them. Do not also forget our previous blog about Florence music festivals.
