From the cheap and cheerful trattorias near the markets to the interesting bars and restaurants of the Santa Croce there is something to suit every type of city break budget. To break away from the crowds, cross the 14 th century Ponte Vecchio to reach the less crowded Bohemian Oltrarno part of the city with its many artisan workshops.
