Located just above the San Niccolò neighborhood on the South banks of the River Arno, the Piazzale Michelangelo offers some of the most spectacular panoramic views of the city. The enormous piazza features a bronze replica of Michelangelo’s David and is bordered by many cafés, restaurants, and coffee shops where visitors can relax and soak up the incredible views. The bustling square is packed with souvenir-touting carts, buskers, and sightseers, but is one of the best places in the city to soak up the Duomo, the Arnolfo Tower of the Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi across the river.
