 | Florence San Lorenzo Market Reviews | 21 - 26 of 26 |  |
We walked through this open air market a few times just to browse on our way to other things. It was actually nice just to flow along with the rest of the bargain hunters through the endless stalls and down side streets in all directions. This is a great place to pick up gifts and souvenirs.
It can be a little tougher to barter here than other markets in the world. Some vendors just won't budge. But you have to realize that if one vendor won't bend another one two stalls down has the same exact merchandise. You can't be timid when it comes to bargaining. They do this for a living and they know when they have you. It can't hurt to try to save yourself a few bucks.
The main purchases you can make here are of leather goods, handbags, jewelry, knick knacks, clothing, belts, and scarves, although there is much more. The quality and assortment of goods ranges quite a bit and prices can vary between 2 to 200 e. I definitely walked away with a very cheap (price and quality) mini statue while my friend left with a gorgeous and expensive leather coat. Theme: OtherDirections: The San Lorenzo Market is located around the San Lorenzo church on Via del canto de Nelli, Via dell Ariento and Via Sant Antonino (every day from 9.00 to 19.30). You really can't miss it.

 Market by TRimer
Florentine Wood boxes. The technique of laying burnished gold leaf onto prepared wood surfaces was developed in Medieval Florence. Its opulent ornamentation was inspired by the churches of the day, and was initially used in religious picture frames. It was during the Renaissance that this style became secularized, and used in the making of decorative wood boxes. The art of gold gilding has been handed down from that time to present, and is still produced with the same techniques in Florence.

I'm not one for shopping, but the market place in Florence is very nice and you can really find good stuff and not just crap. Especially leather goods. I bought a lamb skin leather jacket that was done in a European cut, for $125. It would easily sell for twice that in America. No joke. It is at least worth a look in my opinion.

 Designers vs St. Lorenzo.
Winner: St. Lorenzo! by cinthya_in_victoria
I didn't buy anything, I just walked along it and took a view of the stuff being sold in there.
There are boxers with David's middle area printed on them, but I could see a few printed in high dimensions!! you may guess what I'm talking about hehe!
Overall it was a great place to hang out and meet some locals. Italian guys are very cute, friendly and always helpful with the toursts.
Boots! my sister was about to buy a pair of black ones, they were expensive but if you can afford it, go ahead!
Prices were so so, of course depending on what you want to buy. Just make sure the product has good quality.

This is not a shop it is more a street fair that has everything for sale. I bought a wonderful wool cape for 30 euro. Everything is available from shoes to clothes to accessories to briefcases and toys and just about everything you could ever want. Wonderful place to bargain.
