Florence and its districts
Discover by foot the two sides of the river
Florence is a city that can easily be explored on foot. The historic center is divided by the Arno River, which flows from east to west, creating two banks: the Oltrarno to the south and the main historic center to the north.
Historic bridges connect the districts, each with its own unique identity, from the artisan workshops of Oltrarno to the Renaissance palaces of the center.
