Florence holidays

The view from the peak of Piazzale Michelangelo across the River Arno is truly magnificent. Minutes or hours could be spent absorbing the scene – particularly beautiful at sunset. From the viewpoint the primary sites of the city are visible: the Ponte Vecchio (bridge), the Duomo (cathedral) and the Palazzo Vecchio.
