Piazzale Michelangelo is decorated with bronze replicas of some of Michelangelo's best-known sculptures. This famous square offers panoramic city views. Designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi and built in 1869, this plaza stands on a hill just south of the historic town center. Poggi designed this public space as a terraced observation deck, which today houses a popular restaurant. The view encompasses the heart of Florence, numerous bridges crossing the river Arno, and the hills beyond the city's skyline.

When you visit at sunset, you will be able to watch as the twilight slowly descends on the town, and flickering golden lights illuminate everything. Perfect spot for a selfie. more »

Great place where you can see Florence from the above. If you go by foot there are stairs to climb but it is worth it. more »
