Firenze — Piazzale Michelangelo

Tuscany

Piazzale Michelangelo, laid out on a hillside across the Arno from central Florence, gives the single most photographed view of the city, with the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and the river all visible at once. The climb up through the Giardino delle Rose or via the winding road is gentle, and the terrace itself is flat and open.
