With just a short walk from Santa Croce, you follow the crowd and are swept away onto the Ponte Vechio Bridge and the shops of gold. It is Florence! You can only imagine what it was like hundreds of years as traders sold their goods and lived above the bridge shops. Looking out over the river when you get to the center of the bridge is an ...

There is so much history and atmosphere there, you can't help but find it appealing. We window shopped a lot, got some souveniers, gelato, the ususal. Then, we went back and did the real shopping. If you want any type of jewelry, from the mundane to the unique, this is the place to be. Just find something you like and buy it. Don't go ...

The ponte vecchio is absolutely beautiful and the history is really cool but you definitely aren't the only one who knows this. Since I know that most travelers aren't planning on getting up before 8 or 9am i suggest saving the ponte vecchio for dusk or after dinner. It is such a great place to to eat a gelato or spend a romantic evening ...

Yes this is a beautiful historical bridge but for us, all the jewelry rather spoils it. Dont miss one of the most beautiful, peaceful spots in Florence....the Pitti Palace and Boboli gardens, just over the bridge!

i like jewelers of gold! the sight is very beutiful i na the sunset and best place to visit is at morning! i can say that the river is very beutiful and you must visit this place

This is one of the main attractions in Florence, so don't miss it!! It's just fun to walk around, even though you can't afford most of the things. Oh, and there's great music that gets played there after hours!!

We were blown away by the beauty of this city. We're in our 50's and finally made it to Italy. We walked all over. Boboli gardens were vast and lush. The art everywhere feeds my spirit. The Ponte Vecchio was lovely in the morning and evening light. The sounds, the sights, the feel of the city is extraordinary. We want to go back! Gotta make more money first, though. If you have the opportunity, GO!

there were great markets. Wonderful experience, everyone MUST go!:)W had so much funn! We are going again next year and IT WAS AMAZING!!! No words can explain this expirience!

The atmosphere was relaxed no matter how busy the streets around the Ponte Vecchio. We wandered and people watched - stopping to watch the artists at work with such a differing array of styles. We did succumb to buying one or two paintings which we now have adorning our livingroom walls. We found we had walked for miles around the centre of ...
