Around San Lorenzo & The Mercato Centrale

The church of San Lorenzo is practically lost behind the leather stalls and souvenir carts of Florence's vast San Lorenzo street market. In fact, the hawking of wares and bustle of commerce characterize all the streets of this neighborhood, centered around both the church and the nearby Mercato Centrale food market. This is a colorful scene, but one of the most pickpocket-happy in the city, so be wary.
