Via dei Calzaiuoli

The city’s most popular shopping boulevard
Word to the wise: Keep an eye out for the commemorative plaques all along the street - it’s a great way to learn a little local history while you shop.

Running from the Duomo to Piazza della Signoria, Via dei Calzaiuoli is one of the city’s most well-heeled streets. Originally renowned simply for shoe production, the 600-year-old pedestrian boulevard is now famous as one of the city's very best shopping streets.
From high-class designer fashion outlets like Chanel and Max Mara to more specialist stores like Swarovski and Acqua di Parma, you can find everything luxurious on dei Calzaiuoli. And that still includes great shoes (try Furla).
