The San Lorenzo Market (Mercatino di San Lorenzo) is an outdoor market in central Florence, Italy, located next to the Basilica di San Lorenzo and Piazza del Mercato Centrale. Operating during daytime hours, it sits outside Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo, a multi-floor indoor market and food court.
The market primarily sells leather goods including bags, belts, purses, wallets, and jackets, along with some additional items like scarves, pottery, clothing, notebooks, and other souvenirs for tourists. While visitors can freely take photos, many stalls sell similar merchandise, and there are concerns about the authenticity of some products, particularly leather goods.
Prices are negotiable, and many shoppers find good deals through haggling. For those interested in shopping here, it’s advisable to be selective with purchases and prepared to negotiate prices.
