NUMBER 9.- OLTR'ARNO

The better side of the Arno, is located on "the other side of the Arno River" from the city center and my place of residence. Why is this side better? It's simple. There is less asian tourists clogging the streets, less traffic, and in general is a more pleasant part of town. You will encounter a much higher concentration of actual Florentines and the better restaurants which accompany them. You will also encounter the flagship La Carraia Gelateria which i will elaborate on in a few days. In general, this side of the river is just less obnoxious and offers a lot of tasty treats. Sorry city center, you lose this round.
