To experience Florence like a local, make sure to visit the local markets. The Mercato Centrale is a bustling indoor market where you can find fresh produce, local cheeses, meats, and other delicious Italian specialties. Enjoy a traditional Italian breakfast of cappuccino and pastries at one of the market's cafes. Another must-visit market is the Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio, located in the Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood. This market offers a more authentic and less touristy experience, with a variety of food stalls, clothing, and household items.
