Arezzo is a bargain hunter’s paradise. Every first Sunday of the month and the Saturday before, piazza Grande, the city's main square, is packed with over 500 stalls, spilling out onto the side streets and alleyways. The Antiques Fair, the oldest one in Italy, draws huge crowds, sometimes up to 30,000 visitors, both locals and tourists alike, all looking for unique items. Roman coins, old telephones, ornate grandfather clocks and china are a few of the typical items to be found.
Located in the former monastery of San Bernardo, built partly atop the ruins of an an ancient Roman amphitheatre, this quiet museum displays many cultural gems from the 2nd century and is a great opportunity to get to know more of the ancient history.
A museum housed inside Palazzo Bruni-Ciocchi, or Palazzo della Dogana, one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings, with a quaint courtyard and a grand staircase. It houses sculptures and paintings from the 13th to the 16th century.
