San lorenzo market. A friend that lived in florence gave me a talking to about the rip offs. Cuthbert k wrote a review sep 26. Florences central san lorenzo market includes two separate markets. The market officially runs from 730am to 7pm daily except sundays but as it takes the stallholders a long time to pack away their goods its normal to still find some of them there till around 9pm.

The main market mercado di san lorenzo is the trap that got me. Fruits and vegetable stands as well as nuts and spices stands can be found outside the market. It opened in the spring of 2014 to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the iron and glass architecture erected in 1874. Hannah r wrote a review aug 2020.

The first floor of the historic san lorenzo market. There are more shops here and the scuola del cuoio is the real thing with artisans still working in the old traditional ways. If what youre after is a leather bag again youll find a huge range herebefore choosing one have a look also in the santa croce area. Mercato centrale made its debut in florence in one of the citys most crucial places.

Start your visit to the san lorenzo market by discovering the outdoor section of the market which runs along several streets surrounding the mercato centralefile between the hundreds of stalls on either side of the street with vendors selling pottery clothing notebooks souvenirs and various leather goods including bags belts wallets and jackets.
