It's less touristy than areas north of the Arno, giving it a more residential feel with plenty of local trattorias, wine bars, and small shops. The Basilica di Santo Spirito, designed by Brunelleschi, is a prominent landmark in the main piazza.

Couples looking for a romantic and authentic Florentine experience will find Santo Spirito particularly appealing. Its narrow streets are superb for leisurely strolls, discovering hidden courtyards, and enjoying aperitivos in a more relaxed setting.
