About this tour
This session looks at a smaller corner of San Lorenzo's markets, just outside the main covered hall. You see a street food stall and the leather goods stalls that run alongside it, two very different trades sharing the same streets. The camera moves between the two at a natural pace.
We move at a relaxed pace between the stalls, since the contrast between them is the actual interest here. I explain how both markets developed side by side as we go, and take questions throughout.
It suits anyone who wants a quieter, less crowded corner of San Lorenzo than the main hall. It also pairs well with the full Mercato Centrale session.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Time to ask anything about Florence: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Ribollita and Santa Croce, worth a slower look.

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
