“Must see place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

Very easily accessible by bus OR from train station. The city view from the top is amazing. You can have a nice walk around. It has small shops at the top. Go & visit during evening, late-evening hours. . . the city view is at it's best during that time.

“Great view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

A trip across the Arno to the Piazzale Michelangelo is well worth it. The view of the city, especially at sunset, is spectacular.

“Went on a foggy day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

We had no choice but had to go on a foggy day-the view was still very impressive. We took the Hop On Hop Off bus since it was not a nice day for the walk- the company has a stop there. Across the street there is an upscale restaurant, where we warmed up and had a nice dessert.
