Santo Spirito is an Oltrarno square shaped by artisans, neighbourhood life, food and evening conversation. Begin with an aperitivo, choose a traditional trattoria or contemporary restaurant, then finish with a walk around the basilica and nearby streets. Venues change, so treat this as a neighbourhood itinerary and verify individual opening times before going.
How to experience it
Treat this as part of a walking sequence rather than an isolated stop. Early morning gives clearer views; late afternoon brings warmer light. Comfortable shoes and a quick check of temporary access restrictions make the visit easier.
