All of Florence's major monuments and museums are in walking distance. It is also ideally located for those who love browsing market stands. Right by the Locanda dei Poeti, in the historic San Lorenzo market, shoppers will delight in all the classic wares of Florentine crafting (such as leather, embroidery and clothing). The Stazione di Santa Maria Novella railway station is a five minutes walk, and the Fortezza da Basso, Florence's leading trade fair location, is less than 200 meters from the Locanda.
