Perhaps one of Florence's most iconic and oldest shopping places, the Mercato Nuovo has plenty for leather lovers and those looking to purchase some souvenirs for friends and family back home. You'll find rows and rows of purses and leather jackets available, but don't be afraid to barter and ask for a lower price–they will almost always accept it. It's also an easy walk from the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio, so it shouldn't be difficult to find while you are spending the day sightseeing and looking for items to take back after your trip. You also can't miss Florence's good luck pig, Il Porcellino.
