Oltrarno, Florence –
A charming square with lots of personality – and refreshingly removed from the main tourist areas – Piazza Santo Spirito is a popular hangout for Italians of all ages.
What differentiates this square from others in the city is the more bohemian crowd it attracts and that generally gathers on the steps of the basilica to enjoy gelato, pizza, and some good conversation among friends.
Adding to the laid-back atmosphere are the wandering street musicians who entertain the passersby and get together for spontaneous jam sessions and performances.
Café culture is also alive and well in Santo Spirito, as evidenced by the numerous cozy cafés and bars that surround the square and offer a diverse selection of food and beverages.
And if visitors prefer strolling to lounging, Piazza Santo Spirito is also home to a lovely park full of towering old trees and featuring a marble stage and an octagonal fountain that gently flows throughout the evening.
Artistic and bohemian types and international students, early 20s+.
Live music most nights, tends to be light and jazzy.
Several nearby bars, cafés, and eateries serve sandwiches, pizza, and gelato.
Varies depending on venue.
Casual.
Any summer evening.
