Markets Toscane

Tuscany has probably found its culinary ambassador with Eataly, from extra virgin olive oils to Chianina meats, breads, fresh pasta and local vegetables to the best drinks. Different thematic tables are available to enjoy yourself and discover the establishment. The pizzeria is a great success! Early risers meet at the bar-panetteria, which opens at 7:30 am for a generous breakfast with cappuccino, brioches and hot breads from the wood oven.

Open-air market in the beautiful Cascine Park, west of the Santa Maria Novella district. It is undoubtedly the largest market in the city and probably one of the cheapest: fruit, clothing, food in general, household appliances, antiques, shoes... And after shopping, don't forget to take a walk in the park. Or before that, everything will depend on the products acquired... Ideal for doing good business, but also for immersing yourself in the local culture and atmosphere.

Make no mistake about it, Sant'Ambrogio is not a tourist market. Off-centre in relation to the main Florentine monuments and museums, it mainly attracts locals who have simply wanted to shop there since 1873. Partly covered, the market is filled with stalls offering fresh fruit and vegetables, but also clothes, flowers or household appliances. The covered market also houses small butcher shops or fish shops. Be aware that it is possible to eat there at a lower cost.
