Very close to the center of Florence, Piazzale Michelangelo is one of the best places in Florence with a view of the city, located on the river Arno.. The square is dedicated to the city’s most famous Renaissance artist, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and in the middle of the square is the Statue of David.. The statue is located on a large floor and is decorated with replicas of allegorical sculptures.. The statue in the square is not original. If you want to see the original statue of David, you should visit the Galleria dell’Accademia (Academy Gallery).
Many tour companies stop by the square for 10-15 minutes by bus.. The place, where you can see the scenery very well, is often overcrowded, mostly thanks to the tourists of dozens of tour buses who are content to take a few photos.. Therefore, if you do not come to the square with tours, it is better to come towards the evening or early in the morning (9-10).. Although there are not many touristic activities in the square, a Ferrari that you can rent for 15 minutes (usually 4 days a week in summer seasons) and the place where you can watch the unique view of Florence are enough reasons to happen.

When you go to the back of the square, you will see a cafe and this stop going to the cafe and eat something, it is better not to even buy water. The prices are so exaggerated that even when you want to use the toilets, it is a cafe that says you need to eat and drink.. That’s why it’s good to meet all your needs before they happen.
