Intrigued by tripe & lampredotto? Then this is absolutely your tour.
Designed to showcase Firenze’s iconic and hidden corners, I lead this tour as a Florentine food writer and world’s leading tripe expert. Along the way, you get a full immersion in tripe culture.

Reiseplan
1
Dom – Kathedrale Santa Maria del Fiore
We’ll start right at the Duomo. As we walk past it, we’ll chat about the color‑coded marble, the Florentine family whose name became an unflattering nickname, and Brunelleschi’s terracotta dome — a feat of engineering a few know it is connected to a delicious local dish. It’s a perfect place to begin your walk through the real Firenze of the Florentines.
0 Minute
2
Palazzo Pazzi Quaratesi
Palazzo Pazzi Quaratesi, is next on out tour - one of the many buildings a non-Florentine could easily overlook. Clean lines, a simple façade, and that sense of old family power behind the stone. What makes it worth pointing it out are its ties to one of Firenze’s most turbulent moments — in 1478 the Pazzi family was at the center of the plot to kill Lorenzo and Giuliano de’ Medici. It’s one of the many examples of the Firenze of the Florentines’ city rich history hiding in plain sight.
0 Minute
3
Sant'Ambrogio Markt
Step inside the everyday’s Firenze of the Florentines to visit the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio — one of the places where Firenze still feels real. In the market we’ll see locals shopping for tripe and “lampredotto”, fresh produce, fish, bread and cooked food and much more.
15 Minuten
4
Finally food! Time to stop by Tripperia Pollini, a historic tripe stall near the Sant’Ambrogio market and one of Firenze’s most authentic street food institutions. Here we will have your first tasting of “lampredotto”, slow‑cooked, richly flavored, and served just as Florentines have enjoyed it for generations. It’s a simple, genuine place offering a true taste of the Firenze of the Florentines.
30 Minuten
5
Santa Croce-Platz
Piazza Santa Croce is one of the few squares in the city center that unmistakably belongs to the Firenze of the Florentines. Beyond the church and the elegant buildings, it carries the energy of a living open place, and nowhere is this more evident than during the Calcio Storico, the centuries‑old game that every June transforms the square into a sand arena. For locals, these matches are identity, neighborhood pride, and a connection to a past that still matters. Even when the square is quiet, walking through Santa Croce means seeing Firenze the way locals do — a place where generations of Florentines have gathered, celebrated, argued, and cheered.
0 Minute
6
Via de' Neri
Via de’ Neri is a narrow, lively street famous today for its endless line of “schiacciata” sandwich shops. The irony is that, while “schiacciata” is a truly traditional Florentine bread, the recent boom in stuffed‑schiacciata places is not part of the city’s historic food culture. It’s a recent trend driven mostly by visitors, not by locals. Florentines come here for other reasons: small workshops, everyday cafés, and the quiet side streets. Walking along Via de’ Neri means seeing the contrast between what the Firenze of the Florentines has always been and what it has become in the age of food tourism — and learning to recognize the difference.
0 Minute
7
Signoria-Platz
Piazza della Signoria is the city’s true main stage, a square where political life, mass tourism, and everyday routines have always overlapped. Florentines still cross it naturally, treating it as part of the city rather than a monument, even with the Loggia dei Lanzi on one side — an open‑air museum with masterpieces in full view of anyone passing by. Near the center of the square, a simple marker indicates the spot where the Dominican friar Savonarola, after his “Bonfire of the Vanities” and his alleged crusade against tripe, met his end. No plaque, no statue, just a quiet detail locals recognize instantly. Together, these elements show how much of the city’s character lives in plain sight, perfectly aligned with the spirit of your Firenze of the Florentines walk.
0 Minute
8
Uffizien
The Uffizi is one of the most famous museums in the world, but it’s also a place where the architecture speaks for itself. Walking along the statue‑lined corridor, we can see how the ruling Medici family shaped the city to project power and promote culture at the same time. We don’t go in — we simply pass through the long courtyard the way Florentines do, admiring its open‑air art while using it as an everyday shortcut in our Firenze of the Florentines walk to reach the river Arno.
0 Minute
9
Vasari-Korridor
From the street, the Vasari Corridor looks almost secret: a raised passage slipping above the arches, crossing the Arno river, and disappearing into the rooftops. We will follow this corridor — an architectural structure truly unique in its kind, stretching for almost one kilometer — letting its quiet line above the city guide us across the river and into the Oltrarno neighborhood, where the Firenze of the Florentines still feels most authentic.
0 Minute
10
Alte Brücke
To experience the Firenze of the Florentines, we cross the Ponte Vecchio the way locals do: quickly, weaving through the tourist crowds, noticing the gold shops only out of the corner of an eye. From afar, the Old Bridge looks almost like a tiny village suspended over the river, with its wooden shutters and uneven shapes. What matters here isn’t the jewelry — it’s the feeling of a place that has always been part of daily life, from Roman soldiers to tripe sellers and butchers, from artisans to today’s mix of tourists and Florentines simply crossing through to reach the other side.
0 Minute
11
Pitti-Platz
Piazza de' Pitti opens up suddenly, wide and bare, with the massive stone façade of Palazzo Pitti rising above it. Florentines love this space because it breathes — kids run around, teens gather after school, people sit on the steps, and the palace becomes a backdrop rather than a museum front. Seen from the outside, it feels more like a neighborhood square than the entrance to a royal residence. It’s one of those places where the Firenze of the Florentines shows its everyday side.
0 Minute
12
Palazzo Bianca Cappello , originally of Corbinelli family
your Firenze of the Florentines walk cannot skip Palazzo Bianca Cappello, a building featuring one of those unexpected façades. In this case, warm colors, elegant decoration, and slightly theatrical look make it stand out among the relatively sober buildings of Via Maggio. Florentines walk past it every day without ceremony, but they know it as one of the city’s most intriguing Renaissance corners — a mix of beauty, mystery, and forbidden affairs.
0 Minute
13
Via de' Tornabuoni
Via de' Tornabuoni is Firenze at its most polished: elegant palaces, high‑end boutiques, and a long straight line that feels almost ceremonial. But if we look past the shop windows, we see the old stone, the coats of arms, the quiet courtyards behind the doors. Florentines use this street as a daily crossing point, not as a fashion runway. Walking it from the outside lets us read the layers beneath the surface and catch a glimpse of the Firenze of the Florentines.
0 Minute
14
Piazza Strozzi
Piazza Strozzi is a pocket of calm in the middle of the city center. Palazzo Strozzi dominates the space with its perfect Renaissance geometry. The Strozzi were one of Florence’s most powerful banking families, long‑standing rivals of the Medici, and their palace still carries that sense of ambition carved into stone. Still, in the Firenze of the Florentines, the courtyard is just another shortcut in the city’s daily routes.
0 Minute
15
Piazza del Mercato Nuovo
Food again — your second serving. Here we taste tripe once more, a different recipe this time, prepared by the Trippaio del Porcellino. This historic street‑food stall sits in Piazza del Mercato Nuovo, for centuries one of Firenze’s most important commercial hubs. The Loggia shelters stalls and passersby, while the bronze boar — the Porcellino — watches over the constant flow of tourists rubbing its nose for good luck. Florentines don’t rub the snout or take selfies; they simply line up for a quick, traditional bite of tripe or “lampredotto”, the kind of everyday food that truly belongs to the Firenze of the Florentines.
