Renting a flat in Florence
Florence's Renaissance centre is small and walkable, and most apartments sit in historic buildings within or just outside it. Many visitors stay a short walk across the Arno or beyond the old walls for quieter streets.
Areas to look at
- Oltrarno: artisans and piazzas across the river
- Santa Croce: central, lively in the evenings
- San Niccolò: quiet, below the Piazzale Michelangelo
- Campo di Marte: residential, outside the centre, better value
