Walks in Santa Croce (east).

One editor-picked walk through Santa Croce (east), plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

A former prison now full of café tables, a library roof terrace, and the lanes nobody photographs.

Other walks close to Santa Croce (east).

Sorted by distance from the start of le murate: the prison turned piazza. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The covered market, the tripe stall, the Cibrèo cluster, and the flea-market square.

The quiet downstream embankment — the weir, the towers, and the riverbank nobody walks.

Michelangelo and Galileo under one roof, a working leather school, and the artisan lanes around them.

The climb to the great terrace, then the quietest Romanesque church in Florence above it.
