Walk across one of Florence's oldest and most iconic landmarks, Ponte Vecchio. Spanning the Arno river in the heart of the city, the 14th-century bridge features a wide, three-arch design supporting a series of historic shop fronts. Stroll the bridge's thoroughfare to peruse shops or see street performances. Visit the secret Vasari Corridor that stretches across the bridge to connect two Renaissance palaces. Antique jewelry enthusiasts may want to keep an eye out for the area's gold and silversmith shops.

This is Florence's answer to Venice's Rialto Bridge. Truly iconic and amazing to find out that this is the lone surviving bridge of the city from World War 2. Great for walks and hosts souvenir shops.... more

Ponte Vecchio is just beautiful. Walking across the bridge was not like any other. Seeing the views from the shops located in the bridge was crazy. The best vantage point of the bridge is from the other one or from the parallel roads on either side of the river. A must see at least once. It is about a 20 minute walk from the main train station.

A perfect place to spend your evening walk. It looks amazing during sunset and if you stay a bit longer magic continues when city lights up. A must place to visit when you visit Florence. Bridge is lined with many jewel shops as well which is dates back to historical times.
