You cannot leave Florence without having visited the “Oltrarno” neighborhood, full of places with a popular flavor and many small artistic and historical realities strongly connected to the fabric of the city, where you will have the opportunity to meet the real Florentines. Two examples of extremely significant places of art such as the Church of Santa Felicita and the Church of San Miniato al Monte at Piazzale Michelangelo will enrich your visit to Florence in a unique and unforgettable way.  

The Church of San Miniato al Monte: reaching Piazzale Michelangelo by walk is a wonderful experience, however if you like greater comfort we recommend taking a taxi, and from there, a few steps from the Piazzale, at the top of a stupendous staircase, in Via delle Porte Sante 34, you will find the Church of San Miniato al Monte, one of the most beautiful churches in Florence, with a façade made of  Prato and Carrara marble, with gold mosaics from the 12th century, can be seen even from the Arno river on the other side. The interior is entirely frescoed and the 11th century crypt can be visited. Gregorian chants can also be heard every afternoon, during the celebration of Vespers, both in the summer and winter.
