LIEBLINGSORTE Reiseführer Florenz

What could a perfect day in Florence look like? For example, it might go like this: In the morning, you stroll through Piazza Santo Spirito. You take a round at the fruit and vegetable market and enjoy breakfast in one of the traditional cafés with a cappuccino and cornetto. Next door, the Cappella Brancacci proudly showcases the frescoes by the painter Masaccio. After a little walk through the Boboli Gardens, where you admire the jasmine bushes loved by Cosimo III de' Medici, you discover the romantic Giardino Bardini, a hidden gem of garden art. To recharge, you treat yourself to lampredotto panini from the best street vendor in the city - a heavenly specialty of the region. The urge to shop takes you across the Ponte Vecchio to the other side of the river, where you browse for local olive oil in quaint shops. Now the Duomo district beckons: You complete your visit to the Museo del Duomo and the Uffizi with an aperitivo at the Caffetteria Delle Oblate, overlooking the dome of the cathedral. As evening falls, you stroll through the streets of the Dante district and finally settle down at the Fishing Lab: This Florentine institution serves you the best fish of your life.
