Local knowledge for Florence

Where to stay

San Lorenzo, clustered around Via Nazionale and the Mercato Centrale, has the densest pocket of budget hostels and puts you within a 15-minute walk of most major sights. Oltrarno, south of the Arno near Piazza Santo Spirito, runs a bit cheaper on average and has better neighborhood restaurants with fewer tourists at the tables next to you.

Getting around

  • Book Uffizi and Accademia tickets online before you arrive. Walk-up same-day entry is rarely available in high season, and the queues for last-minute slots can easily eat two hours of your morning.
  • State museums including the Uffizi are free on the first Sunday of each month. Get there before 8:15am or the line length cancels out the savings.
  • Eat lunch at the ground-floor stalls inside Mercato Centrale rather than the tourist-facing trattorias along Via dei Tornabuoni. A full plate runs a few euros instead of several times that.

When to go

January through mid-March has the lowest hostel rates. April, especially Easter week, and the September return surge push beds up sharply and book out fast.
