Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Caffè Notte, Via delle Caldaie, 18, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy

You’ll start at a tiny corner bar on a quiet street in the Oltrarno neighborhood. It’s here where you’ll get a crash course in Tuscan cuisine in the form of regional cheese, bruschetta, focaccia, and Chianti Classico wine.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Babae, Via Santo Spirito, 21R, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy

From there, you’ll make a quick stop at one of Florence’s famous wine windows to sip a glass of red or white.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: I' Vinaino di San Frediano, Borgo S. Frediano, 16/R, 50124 Firenze FI, Italy

After this little warm up, you'll stop at another locally loved wine bar for an aperitivo of Tuscan cold cuts washed down with another regional wine.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Bbq Trattoria Barbecue, Piazza Torquato Tasso, 9R, 50124 Firenze FI, Italy

Now you're ready for dinner. Sit down at a trattoria to try the legendary bistecca alla fiorentina, or Florentine steak. One bite and you’ll immediately understand the city’s famous love for meat.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Gelateria Artigianale La Sorbettiera | Santo Spirito, Via Mazzetta, 9/a, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy

Finally, since you're in the birthplace of gelato, it would be practically criminal not to try Italy’s favorite frozen treat! You'll take a quick stroll to one of the city's most beloved gelaterias for a cup or a cone of your favorite flavor, made with organic regional ingredients.

Duration: 10 minutes
