The Neighborhood
Situated in the San Lorenzo district, Piazza Indipendenza is one of Florence's largest and most elegant squares. This area offers a more authentic, residential feel than the immediate vicinity of the Duomo, yet remains within an easy 10-15 minute walk of all major sights. The neighborhood is famous for the San Lorenzo Market, where you can find leather goods and the Mercato Centrale—a foodie's paradise filled with artisanal stalls. It is also the home of the Medici Chapels and the Accademia Gallery. Living in this district allows you to experience the daily rhythm of Florence, from morning markets to evening 'aperitivi' in local squares.
