Markets

The San Lorenzo Central Market

The San Lorenzo Central Market

Piazza del Mercato Centrale

The "belly of Florence", the San Lorenzo Central Market is a place where every decent Florentine housewife goes at least once a week to buy the freshest ingredients for the famous dishes of Tuscan cuisine. In a historic 1874 building designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, creator of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, people sell all things provided by the fruitful Tuscan land: milk and cheeses, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cereals and olives. In the street, one can find the colorful stalls of vegetable and fruit sellers.

Mercato delle Pulci

If you put a coin into the boar's mouth and then stroke the nose, you will be blessed with luck; however, you must first wait for the coin to fall out into the fountain.

Dangerous and recommended areas of the city

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Florence is not one of the most dangerous cities in Europe, but it is not a 100% safe city either.

However, as with all tourist cities, visitors should exercise caution. Indeed, petty criminals target foreigners for crimes such as pickpocketing, theft, carjacking, fraud, etc.

So, as in most European cities, tourists should exercise caution in tourist spots, public transport, airports and train stations.

Le Piagge

There is no dangerous area in Florence. The only place in Florence with a bad reputation is the Piagge area. This not very dangerous area is not located in the center of Florence, but about ten kilometers from Quartieri 5.

Crystalina, I returned from an 11-day trip in northern Italy after having the kind help of you to plan and build the itinerary. Happily, your recommendations were incredibly accurate and detailed, including parking, recommendations for restaurants and even leading ice cream parlors. We arrived at magical places, don't want to think what would have happened without your planning?! Thank you very much, Crystalina.

Crystalina was a pleasure to work with - friendly, kind, and always willing to help. We highly recommend her services for anyone planning a trip to Italy.

Avery Flores

Crystalina prepared a simple and perfect trip for us, exactly according to our needs. We spent Sunday seeing special things in Milan and went shopping on Monday. She sent us to really worthwhile places! Then we went to Lake Como, with crazy views and lots of special observations. Every day we thought it was the most special it could be, and we were surprised to find out the next day that there was more! It was a fun and relaxed trip. We felt in good hands, and everything was accurate, including addresses from place to place, prices, and if we had a question, she immediately answered. In short, there are no words to describe it! I highly recommend Crystalina for anyone looking for a perfect trip without any headaches.
