Piazzale Michelangelo is one of the most famous viewpoints in the city. Located on a hill just outside the historic center, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Florence, including the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Arno River with its bridges. Built in the 19th century, the square is dedicated to Michelangelo and features bronze copies of his most famous works. It’s a must-see spot for tourists, especially at sunset when the city glows in golden light. Whether you walk up the hill or arrive by car or bus, the view is unforgettable.

Photography Tips

Piazzale Michelangelo offers great views of Florence, especially at sunset. A telephoto lens (70–200 mm) is ideal to capture landmarks like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. Up to 300 mm is useful for close-ups. A tripod helps in low light. Best time is early morning or sunset. Use aperture f/7 to f/11 for sharp images.
