What's Nearby

Getting Around

Though you’re staying on the north-east side of the city, Florence is so small it’s relatively easy to walk to anything you could want or need. If you do want to go to sites south of the Arno River, you should think about taking a taxi.

Restaurants

For a little bit of everything, head over to Mercato Centrale (10-minute walk), a bustling warehouse with fresh goods on the first floor, and dozens of small restaurants on the second. Here you have your pick of pizza, pasta, gelato, panini, and more.

Bars

Right across the street, Finnegan’s (1-minute walk) is an Irish pub with trivia, darts, draughts, and whiskey tastings. Oenophiles might want to check out Enoteca Zanobini (11-minute walk) where you’ll find over 2,500 brands of wine and daily tastings.
