About this place

Watch sunset gild the Arno from Ponte Santa Trinita — not the crowded Ponte Vecchio next door — then climb to Piazzale Michelangelo as the city lights come on. Share a bistecca, split a bottle of Chianti Classico, and accept that every second doorway will upstage your photographs.
