The view from this park is quite frankly amazing. You get a wonderful panoramic vision of the whole city. It's a great way to start a visit to Firenze! If you happen to be in Florence on a Monday when both the Academia and Uffizi are closed, you can see the copy of Michaelangelo's David here. The sunset from this... More

We got here via the open top City Sightseeing bus. All three routes stop here and pass at least one every 15 minutes. Superb views over the city and refreshments available when you get there.

You can take bus or cab there - and then walk down. A view you don't want to miss. Stop at the gardens on your way down.

The best views of Florence and the River Arno. Definitely go before sunset, take a bottle of wine, sit on the steps and relax as the sun sets. Fabulous photos from this location!

Terrific views across central Florence from a wide, open area. There is a rose garden part way up that also affords views but the extra climb to the Piazzale does not take long and is rewarding.

Definitely a bit of a hike to get up here. You must cross the river and then make your way up a bit of a winding path to reach the piazza. Probably about a 10-15 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio.

Not suitable for older or unfit people ( those should take a cab or drive up there ) but well worth climbing up if you can as the view will be a reward by itself. sit on the stairs like everybody and admire. Just beaufiful.
