A bustling, noisy square with a fab vista of Florence. Walk up through the Rose Gardens to get there and have a drink in the restaurant opposite to finish off the trek.

After spending some time on the train, this was the perfect activity to stretch our legs a bit. It's about a 20-25 minute walk from the Duomo. The stairs are definitely a workout, so definitely bring some water. The views are absolutely incredible. There are...More

HIGHLIGHT of our visit to Florence!!! HIGHLY recommend! We loved every minute! The picture speaks for itself!
