If youâre looking for a bustling and lively neighbourhood, youâve come to the right place. Piazza Santa Croce is the heart of the Santa Croce neighbourhood. Whilst the Basilica di Santa Croce attracts many tourists to the neighbourhood during the day, in the evenings itâs mainly young locals who flock here. Every year on 24 June, the four neighbourhoods of the city centre compete for victory here during the Calcio Fiorentino, a costumed football match that has been played for six hundred years. Youâll also find plenty of cafĂ©s and restaurants here. And donât miss Via dei Neri, a street where street food lovers are sure to find something to their taste.
