Slow Oltrarno – Florence on the other side of the river Arno

The centre of Florence is still full of nice peaceful and quiet areas.

The Oltrarno district with its artisan’s shops, its typical cafés and its beautiful churches is for sure one of the truest Florentine places in the city. From the top of Piazzale Michelangelo to the heart of the district, you will discover a different side of the city, the south bank with its special Florentine flavour and a genuine local atmosphere offers not only beautiful noble palaces but also unique works of art, especially in Renaissance and Mannierist styles by the greatest artists, Masaccio, Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Pontormo.
