Florence Like a Local

Start the day bright and early shoulder-to-shoulder with the locals at the breezy open-air Mercato Centrale before lingering at one of the tables with a cappuccino – after all, this is the only acceptable time of the day to indulge in one by Italian standards. Continue your day like a Florentine local with a slow saunter through the elegant Piazza della Repubblica and a visit to Museo Salvatore Ferragamo before settling down for a casual lunch break. Finish off your leisurely day with gelato by the Arno river, compulsory aperitivo and a hearty traditional dinner.
