Quintessential Florence
Start Piazza della Repubblica
Finish Ponte Vecchio
Length 2km, two hours
Start with coffee on Piazza della Repubblica ( Click here ) then walk one block south along Via
Calimala and turn left onto Via Orsanmichele to Chiesa e Museo di Orsanmichele ( Click here ), a
unique church with ornate statuary adorning its facade and a fascinating museum inside. Backtrack to
Via Calimala and continue walking south until you see the loggia of Mercato Nuovo ( Click here ),
the 16th-century 'New Market'. Florentines know it as 'Il Porcellino' (The Piglet) after the bronze
statue of a wild boar on its southern side. Rub its snout to ensure your return to Florence.
