S. Giovanni Duomo
San Giovanni is the pulsing, beating heart of Florence. Some may say it has an unfair advantage, as it gets to claim the axis of the city and the religious center, Piazza del Duomo. On the flip side, 90% of all tourist activity in Florence will take place in this neighborhood, tarnishing our shiny, fuzzy, warm fantasies about quaint Italy. But Iâll let you decide.

San Niccolò is a district of contrasting vibes. Near the Arno the streets are lined with laid-back restaurants and wine bars, and in warm weather, locals set up parasols and deckchairs along a stretch of the riverbank. Closer to the hills, elegant villas set a more upscale tone. A path snakes through the Giardino Bardini park, climbing up to the 17th-century Villa Bardini, which has 2 museums and offers city views.
