One of Florence’s most spacious open squares — perfect for kids to run around. The basilica entry (~€8 adults) includes Michelangelo’s tomb and beautiful frescoes. The surrounding streets have excellent leather shops and gelato options. In summer, occasional outdoor events and markets take place in the piazza.
