After reaching the Piazzale, keep climbing to the church at the top of the hill: San Miniato al Monte. The church is lovely, but you also get the fabulous view in much more peaceful surroundings. (I actually hope that not many of you take my advice, because the lack of crowds at the top made it most special.) On the way down the hill, stop for wine at Fuori Porta.

Anyone who goes to Florence must stand on this bridge, during the day its a mass of people all josling for a space, trying to reach the windows of the jewellery shops! So go at night when the music is playing, a different person each night, people just sitting talking and enjoying themselves! It costs nothing, well only if you want to by a cd! See it when the moon is out, will say no more just go and enjoy.

I`ve been in Florence once, and believe for a first time in my life I liked to stay there forever. All that beautiful scluptures, Michelangello`s statue of David, all that bridges...However people live in bridges, cause they seems to some kind of buildings Florence is the source of Italy, in many ways:in culture,wealthy, all historical happenings started from here.City of renesane, center of Europe.

Piazza Michelangelo at sunset is absoulutely beautiful. Sitting on the steps, you have a panoramic view of Florence, enveloped in pinks, purples, and oranges. You're not bothered so much by vendors, but they are there if you should want to buy some paintings. Buy a gelato or take a picnic supper, and it's a free to cheap way to spend a delightful evening.

Piazzale Michelangelo is the most panoramic and amazing place to visit in Florence. Overlooking the Arno, the city and the rolling hills of Tuscany, this site is great for everyone. I recommend walking up to Piazzale Michelangelo from Porta Romana. It is truly an experience! The walk itself is amazing and definitely worth the time and energy! You can also get there from the number 12 or 13 bus. It is most beautiful to visit in Fall when the leaves are changing colors and the weather is still nice. Be sure to bring your camera and take in every minute of your experience in this peaceful place.

Just loved it for the views of Florence and over the River Arno--it was a clear sunny day and you could see forever.
