About Ponte Vecchio
Florence
The Ponte Vecchio is one of Florence’s most iconic landmarks, a medieval stone bridge that spans the Arno River at its narrowest point. It’s famous not just for its picturesque arches but also for the row of shops that line both sides – an architectural oddity that dates to the 13th century. Walking across the Ponte Vecchio feels like stepping into a living postcard. The central section opens up with panoramic views of the river, the distant dome of the Duomo, and rows of ochre and pastel buildings along the banks. Despite crowds during the day, the bridge has a romantic, timeless quality, especially in the early morning or after sunset, when the warm lights reflect off the Arno and the city feels like it’s exhaling.
