Florence Shopping

This weekend a group of us went to Florence to sight see and shop! On our way to our hostel after arriving in Florence, we walked through a open air market filled with souvenirs, clothes, scarves, handbags, etc. Of course, later that afternoon we had to check out the market which offered great deals and the vendors left room for some bargaining.

The open market did not seem to have a name but was located on Via del Canto de' Nelli. My roommates and I bought mostly scarves from the market. Usually we were able to bargain three scarves for ten euro which seemed to be a great deal. I priced some of the leather bags and most of them were anywhere from 50 euro to 100 euro depending on the size of the bag. This market was large and offered a variety of items that many may be interested in. If you ever make it to Florence make sure you check out the markets along the streets of the city.
