Ponte Vecchio, Florence: 10 reviews and 14 photos
What to buy: You can buy mostly jewelery along the Ponte Vecchio. There are a few stalls that sell postcards and magazines as well as gelatto shops. I found there were many areas to shop near the Duomo and along the market near San Lorenzo. Florence is known for its leather products and there are many fine shops that sell leather bound books with machine or hand made paper. The market also sells many different kinds of local goods from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or other produce. Depending on the time of year of your visit, you may also find some seasonal markets, like those found in front of Santa Croce.
Directions: located over the Arno River
