Via dei Neri, the street of the original All'Antico Vinaio shop

All'Antico Vinaio

The schiacciata sandwich shop with the famous queue on Via dei Neri: warm Tuscan flatbread filled with cured meats, cheese and spreads. The sandwiches are huge and good; whether they are worth a long wait is your call. Go mid-morning or mid-afternoon to avoid the worst of it.

Via dei Neri, the street where Gelateria dei Neri is

Gelateria dei Neri

A small gelateria on Via dei Neri with a long list of flavours, including some dairy-free sorbets and unusual combinations. A reliable stop between Santa Croce and the Uffizi.

Vivoli's shopfront in its lane near Santa Croce

Vivoli

A family gelateria in a lane near Santa Croce, widely described as the oldest in Florence (the family's shop dates back to around 1930). Old-fashioned in the good sense, with a small café counter as well.

The Enoteca Pinchiorri sign on Palazzo Jacometti-Ciofi, Via Ghibellina

Enoteca Pinchiorri

Florence's only restaurant with three Michelin stars (2025 and 2026 guides), in a palazzo on Via Ghibellina, with one of the largest wine cellars in Europe. Formal, very expensive, and for a special occasion. Reservations are essential.

Via dei Neri, the street where Ditta Artigianale has its original café

Ditta Artigianale

A specialty coffee bar on Via dei Neri, part of a small Florentine group, serving filter coffee and flat whites as well as Italian espresso. Useful for a slower breakfast than a standing espresso at the bar.

The entrance to the Scuola del Cuoio on Via San Giuseppe

Scuola del Cuoio leather school

Une école du cuir fondée après la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans l'ancien dortoir franciscain derrière Santa Croce. On peut y voir artisans et élèves au travail et acheter leurs produits ; les prix reflètent la qualité, et c'est un bon moyen de voir à quoi ressemble un vrai travail du cuir florentin avant d'aller aux étals du marché.

The Bargello tower from Via Ghibellina. Locale is a few streets away, near the Bargello

Locale Firenze

A cocktail bar inside a medieval palazzo near the Bargello, with elaborate drinks and a dramatic interior. Expensive, dressy by Florence standards, and best booked.

The facade of Santa Croce

Basilica di Santa Croce

La grande église franciscaine de Florence, avec les tombeaux de Michel-Ange, Galilée et Machiavel, les fresques de Giotto dans les chapelles Bardi et Peruzzi et la chapelle des Pazzi de Brunelleschi dans le cloître. Entrée payante ; comptez au moins une heure et demie.
