About Centro Storico
Centro Storico (Historic Centre) is the beating heart of Florence. The neighbourhood is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains more Renaissance art and architecture per square kilometre than almost anywhere else on Earth.
Via dei Federighi sits between the Arno river and the Santa Croce area — meaning you can walk to both banks of the Arno within minutes, and reach the Uffizi or Ponte Vecchio without crossing any major roads.
The neighbourhood is walkable, car-free in parts, and well-served by local buses. Santa Maria Novella train station (Eurostar, regional trains to Siena/Pisa/Cinque Terre) is 7 minutes on foot.
