Florence sandwich survival tips
- Lunch rush is 12:00–14:00. The famous counters have the longest queues then — go at 11:00 or after 15:00.
- Many lampredotto stands and markets close mid-afternoon and on Sundays. Plan them for a weekday lunch.
- Carry some cash. Small kiosks may prefer it.
- Don't sit on church steps to eat — it's frowned upon and often banned. Head for the Arno embankments or a piazza bench.
- New here? Read how to order lampredotto like a Florentine.
