From From San Lorenzo to Santa Maria Novella Florence



Most of Florentine artistic treasures are within easy walking reach of the houses in the centre of Florence. Brief holidays are not a problem, because the city offers various interesting itineraries dedicated to those who will spend only a few days in the capital of Tuscany: you just have to walk for a few metres to be plunged in an unforgettable trip at the discovery of the culture of the city of the lily. From Piazza San Lorenzo, in ten minutes you can reach Piazza Santa Maria Novella and you will have the opportunity of admiring two of the most beautiful churches in the world.

Some spectacular holiday apartments in Florence city centre (do not forget possible low cost and last minute solutions) overlook the characteristic basilica of San Lorenzo. Just a short flight of steps (obviously, old buildings do not have an elevator) and you are on the street, in front of the magnificent Renaissance church by Brunelleschi.

From Piazza San Lorenzo walk anticlockwise along the perimeter of the basilica and gad about the stands of the characteristic market of San Lorenzo up to Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini - or simply Piazza Madonna, as it is known in Florence. From here, you can see the famous Cappella dei Principi (Chapel of the Princes), the funeral chapel of the Medici family.

With Palazzo Aldobrandini at your back, walk towards Piazza Santa Maria Novella. After crossing some Florentine historical streets, you will see the church of Santa Maria Novella in front of you, with its famous marble faηade by Leon Battista Alberti.
