About Piazzale Michelangelo
Florence
Piazzale Michelangelo is one of the most iconic viewpoints in Florence, offering stunning panoramic views of the city and its famous landmarks. Located on a hill just south of the Arno River, it provides a breathtaking vista of Florence, including the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and the rolling hills of Tuscany in the distance. The square itself is a large, open space with a bronze replica of Michelangelo’s David, which is positioned at the centre as a tribute to the great artist. Visitors come here to admire the spectacular views and to take in the beauty of Florence from above. The view is particularly striking at sunrise or sunset when the city’s architecture is bathed in golden light, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Piazzale Michelangelo can be reached by walking up a series of stairs or by car, and it’s a popular spot for both tourists and locals alike. The terrace at Piazzale Michelangelo is also the starting point for several walking paths that lead you through Florence’s historic centre, so it’s a great place to begin a day of exploring or to end your visit with a memorable view.
