Local tips.

Frequently asked questions.

What's in Campo di Marte?

Florence's east residential district. Anchors include the Stadio Artemio Franchi (Fiorentina football, 1931 architecture by Pier Luigi Nervi), the Campo di Marte regional rail station, the Sant'Anna girls' school, and surrounding residential streets with local Italian mid-market retail.

Is Campo di Marte good for tourist shopping?

No. The district is residential and serves Florentine locals. For tourist-oriented shopping (luxury, leather, jewelry, mid-market chains), the historic center (Tornabuoni, Calzaiuoli, Ponte Vecchio) is the destination. Campo di Marte makes sense only for Fiorentina match days or regional rail.

How do I get to Campo di Marte?

Buses 6, 11, 17, and 20 from the historic center; trip 15-20 minutes. Campo di Marte railway station serves regional Trenitalia lines for Tuscan day trips. By car: 10 minutes from the center via Viale dei Mille. Walking from the Duomo: 25 minutes east.

Can I buy Fiorentina merchandise here?

Yes on match days at stadium stalls, plus the official Fiorentina Store at the stadium itself. Off-match days, the Florence center (near Piazza della Repubblica) has the official Fiorentina retail outlet. Sports chains in the historic center also stock Fiorentina items in season.

Can I get VAT refund on Fiorentina merchandise?

Yes if the official store transaction reaches €70.01 in a single visit. The store issues OTELLO forms with passport. Match-day stadium stalls typically don't (informal vendors). For verified merchandise plus VAT-refund eligibility, visit the brick-and-mortar Fiorentina Store.
