Florence has become very well-known for panini, different kinds of sandwiches stuffed with all things delicious. 

Many visitors tend to flock in mass to the same Insta-famous shop, which is ok, but not worth wasting precious hours standing in line, when you could very easily just walk up to an even better establishment.

This is my ultimate list as a Tuscan native, with detailed descriptions and videos about what makes each panini shop unique 💎.
