Piazzale Michelangelo was created in 1860 as a square by Giuseppe Poggi and is decorated with copies of Michelangelo's statues. The piazza is located on a hill so you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of Florence and the surrounding area.

The best view of the city, including the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, is from this platform. Unfortunately, there's quite a lot of traffic and even more tourists.
