why santa maria novella

the piazza every florence trip starts in, crowds included.

Stepping out of Santa Maria Novella station is like walking onto a movie set — the light, the architecture, the sheer volume of people all funneling towards the Duomo. It's intense, a sensory overload of leather shops and selfie sticks and the particular echo of rolling suitcases on cobblestones.

But don't dismiss it as a tourist trap. The Basilica di Santa Maria Novella is one of the most important churches in Florence, a showcase of Renaissance art and architecture. The Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is one of the world's oldest pharmacies, selling artisanal perfumes and soaps in a stunning historic space. And Trattoria Mario is a Florentine institution, serving up classic Tuscan dishes at communal tables — be prepared to queue.

Santa Maria Novella is the gateway to Florence, the place where your Florentine to-do list begins. Find your bearings, grab a coffee, and then get lost in the side streets — the real Florence is just a few blocks away.

Stay here for convenience. The train station is right there, and everything is walkable. But be prepared for crowds, especially during peak season. Pair with a few days in the Tuscan countryside for a change of pace.
