The Sant’Ambrogio Market (Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio) is the oldest market in Florence, Italy. The historic marketplace operates both indoors and outdoors, offering a diverse selection of goods throughout the year.
Inside the market building, you’ll find an array of vendors including butchers, cheesemongers, and delis. The market houses bars, trattorias, bakeries, and merchants selling Florentine and Tuscan prepared foods, spices, fish, and wine. What makes Sant’Ambrogio special is its authentic connection to local producers – actual farmers from the Tuscan countryside still sell their wares here, ensuring high-quality products through short supply chains and maintaining local traditions of Italian excellence.
The outdoor section primarily features fruit and vegetable stands, but it’s also home to non-food vendors. Here, shoppers can browse through flowers and plants, clothing, accessories, textiles, and household items.
Those looking for second-hand treasures don’t have to go far, as the Sant’Ambrogio Flea Market is just across the market building, on Largo Pietro Annigoni.
