Recommendation

Where to Stay in Florence

Duomo & Piazza della Signoria

The absolute epicenter of Florence. Staying here means the Cathedral is your neighbor and the Uffizi is your backyard. It is breathtakingly beautiful but intensely crowded. Ideal for first-timers who want to wake up in the middle of a postcard.

Santa Croce

Just east of the center, Santa Croce is the historic leather-working district that transforms into a nightlife hub after dark. It retains a medieval feel but buzzes with aperitivo bars. It’s perfect for those who want historic charm with a lively social scene.

Oltrarno (Santo Spirito & San Frediano)

Across the Arno river lies the 'Rive Gauche' of Florence. This is the quarter of artisans, antique dealers, and locals. Santo Spirito is famous for its piazza nightlife, while San Frediano was named the 'coolest neighborhood in the world'. It feels authentic, bohemian, and slightly rebellious.

Santa Maria Novella (SMN)

Once just the station area, this district has transformed. The Piazza di Santa Maria Novella is stunning and newly polished. It offers incredible convenience for day trips (Tuscany, Pisa) and boasts some of the city's sleekest hotels and rooftops.
