Piazzale Michelangelo
Piazzale Michelangelo, 50125 Firenze FI, ItalyLocated on the South bank of the Arno River, Piazzale Michelangelo is perched on a hill near the Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace. From this square you will have a panoramic view of Florence and the Cathedral throughout the city. In the center of the square is the great bronze statue of David, and around the square there are a variety of shops and artists selling pottery. If you're looking for a truly memorable photo, head to Piazzale Michelangelo!
Perched on a plateau to the south of the Arno River, Piazzale Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the best places to see all of Florence's splendor.
The large square contains a bronze replica of Michelangelo's David. It also has many restaurants and cafes where you can sit and enjoy the view. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you can also buy delicious Italian ice cream or snacks from any of the refreshment stands in the square.
The Piazzale Michelangelo can be reached on foot from the Arno riverbank (with some well-marked footpaths). However, in our opinion the easiest way to get to Piazzale is to take bus 12 or 13, which will take you directly into the square.
If you want to take good pictures of the scenery, the best time to climb the Piazzale Michelangelo is at noon. At sunset, it will be difficult to take good pictures as you will be backlit by the sun.
