Wife and I on last day walked through here looking for some leather goods. It also has farmers market. There were many "northern Africans" selling leather goods which were marked made in Florence Italy as well as other collectible items. My wife started looking and I was just along for ride. We did find a purse which my wife was interested in and we were talking with the gentleman abou the cost. He started with 150 Euro's for a purse. Wife didn't know if she liked it or not and I found another for her to look at. He said it was 130 Euro's. We started walking away and he asked what we would pay.

Get off the ‘historico’ treadmill and out and about to some daily city life. This is largely a neighbourhood and daily produce market 7am to 2pm, with some special markets on days throughout the month - check the website for details. If you are lucky enough to be able to cook at you base whilst in Florence, this is a great place to buy your ingredients, vegetables, meat and fish. After your shopping, it’s worth trying local cafes and restaurants which range from espresso bars and small lunch venues in the covered market, to mid range trattorias in the square, with a traditional Tuscan menu and the various Cibreo offers, created by home grown chef Fabio Picchi. We ate lunch at Cibreo restaurant with an excellent three course meal for two with wine for €58. The market, long lunch and wander through the smaller local streets is a lovely way to spend a day. …
