Best panini in Florence (free guide)

This is my ultimate list as a Tuscan native, with detailed descriptions and videos about what makes each panini shop unique 💎 Don't forget to download Thatch app to access full features and to save ☑️ this map for future use!

Self-guided Florence Food Tour itinerary
A self-guided exploration of Florence's foods through the charming neighborhood of Oltrarno, in 5 stops: a pastry shop, a bakery, a market and/or aperitivo, lunch, and gelato. In addition to each stop's details, this guide also includes information about Oltrarno, recommended foods to try, a quick guide to Italian coffee, what is "aperitivo", and historical information about Florence's famous wine windows. Visit every stop, or pick and choose to your liking. Depending on how many stops you make and how long you stay, the tour lasts about 3.30 hours. Total walking distance: about 1 mile on flat roads. Tuesday-Saturdays only because most of the featured businesses are closed on Sundays and Mondays, in true Italian fashion. The tour is designed as a morning/lunch activity, but can also be adjusted for the afternoon/dinner. Remember: come hungry!
