Cool off with creamy Florentine gelato
Gelateria La Carraia
Why locals love it
Carraia boasts some of Florence's freshest gelato at the city's fairest prices. A generously sized "cono degustazione" (taster cone) sets you back just one euro. It's also a stone's throw from some of the Oltrarno's hippest wine bars and nightlife spots, making it the perfect stop for a sweet treat before hitting the town.
Why you should visit it
Apart from the unbeatable value, the variety, and the fact that it's always flooded with locals, Carraia is worth a visit because you can enjoy your cone out on the picturesque bridge of the same name. While you're slurping to your heart's content, you can take in the breathtaking cityscape without being trampled by fellow travelers.
Special tip
The fruity flavors look tempting and taste delicious, but Carraia's true strengths are creamy varieties like coffee, pistacchio and "cremcaramel."
