Attractions - Open-air Markets

Besides shops, Florence is rich in open-air markets. The Market of San Lorenzo, situated at the center of the city, is the preferred destination of tourists. The New Market, where one can purchase leather goods and souvenirs, is sheltered under the sixteenth-century Loggia del Porcellino (pig). At the Flea Market one can make good deals on small antique items. The last Sunday of every month except July, the market expands into the adjacent streets.
