1Savor Local Flavors Off the Beaten Path

After the cultural feast, don’t forget the culinary one. Move away from the crowded trattorias near the Duomo and explore neighborhoods like Sant’Ambrogio, where locals shop at the bustling Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio for fresh produce, cheeses, and meats.

Try a panino con lampredotto—a Florentine specialty made from cow stomach—at a street food stall, or linger over a glass of Chianti in a wine bar tucked into a narrow alley. For dessert, skip the gelato shops with neon-colored displays and head to authentic gelaterie like Vivoli or Gelateria dei Neri, where the flavors are seasonal and natural.
