Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence (Italy)
Piazzale Michelangelo is a best and most popular lookout for the stunning view of the Florence both the day and night. It is one of the best places where you can enjoy the view and the best part of it is that it is for free. You need to have a steep walk but Piazzale Michelangelo sunset is really worth with an amazing view. Many have the misunderstanding that Piazza exist from the time Florence was formed and also that this is designed by Michelangelo. It is but a comparatively recent construction considering the historic monuments that are housed in Florence.
History of Piazzale Michelangelo
Piazzale Michelangelo was constructed in the year 1869 and it was done by Giuseppe Poggi who is a Florence architect. It was constructed along with the restructuring of city walls that was done in the year 1869.
Dedicated to Michelangelo
Poggi made this terrace in the 19th century for showcasing the masterpieces of Michelangelo. He designed the monument base dedicated to Michelangelo where he could exhibit the replicas of Michelangelo's work like David, Medici Chapel sculptures from San Lorenzo is displayed. He also had constructed a hillside building with the loggia in the form of a museum that can hold Michelangelo's work but today it is used as the place for a coffee bar and a restaurant that has a panoramic terrace.
Piazzale Michelangelo is the place dedicated in the name of the popular artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. The square has the replica of the popular statue he has made, the David. This statue is fixed on the large pedestal and is made out of bronze. It is decorated with the replicas of allegorical statues that depict day, night, dusk and dawn.
View from Piazzale Michelangelo

The square has so many market stalls that sell snacks and souvenirs. The square is indeed the best place to be even when there is too much commercialization in this place.
The city of Florence looks amazing in the backdrops of Tuscan hills. A clear view of the city’s important landmarks including Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio and Duomo gives one with great pleasure. Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence is situated on the southeastern side of the city center. It is a very popular spot and famous as the best observation point.

Trip to Europe
I went on a 9 days Italy trip with my wife and 1 yr old daughter. Trip was planned by Shashank from I need trip. From the very first call, the itinerary seemed interesting and value for money. He took care of each and every small need of ours and modified the package as and when needed. We spent 4 nights Milan ( including day tour to lake Como and Lugano and one day tour of Venice ) personally felt that one day tour of Venice from Milan is better than staying in Venice. the tours arranged were excellent. 2 days Florence and 2 days Rome. The location of hotels were extremely convenient.. in the heart of the city, close to metro stations and numerous food options around. We didn’t face any challenges. Following are the points for improvement: There were tours of lake como and Lugano which allowed baby strollers that would have made it easier for us in the day long excursion. So for families with infants try to book those tours. The last tour.. vetican and colosseum one day.. was kind of hectic as we had to move from vetican to colosseum on our own. There were tours which covered the transfer as well. Overall it was a fabulous experience.. full marks for hotels , trains and flights. Specially hotel Axial in Florence.. it’s is located right in the center of the city where all important tourist places are 2-3 mins walk Thanks to your team for making it a memorable trip for us! .Trip to Europe
Rome Florence hotel, transportation and location everything was very good. But Venice hotel, distance between the hotel and pickup point, ease of transport was not convenient and not aware of mode of transportation in Venice. Rome and Florence everything was wonderful. Venice City was mind-blowing.Trip to Florence
We contacted Duniya Safari for a customized Italy trip covering 3 cities - Rome, Florence and Venice and they really exceeded our expectations! Everything about the trip was so well-organized and coordinated. Right from the airport to hotel transfers, hotel bookings, inter-city transfers and sight-seeing vouchers- everything went very smoothly. The high-light of the trip was a day trip to the Tuscany region and Piza with a wine-tasting lunch at a family-run vineyard. A special thanks to Mayuri Ganguly from Duniya Safari for making this trip so memorable for my family and me!Trip to Europe
To start with, would give a short feedback on TravelTrianglethrough whom we landed upon the Travelfunda team. The best amongst all professional itinerary designer aggregators when it comes to customised and needs based travel requirements. Had enquired with the who’s who in this segment - likes of yatra, mmt, thomas cook and finally realised how Traveltriangle has truly built up a team and an ecosystem of its travel design partners who are really passionate about travelling and not just providing business centric packages. Kudos and all the best to the whole team including Mr. Sagar from TT and Mr. Niraj from Travel Funda . Travelfunda Mr. Niraj and his team were an absolute gem of a team as persons apart from their professional roles. Humane to the core in every aspect of discussion and support and there never was “NO” as an answer in every scenario. And the secret behind Niraj’s and his team’s finesse with travel & itinerary insights is that they have themselves travelled extensively and thus could provide minute details about locales and cost saving tips during our visit. Truly appreciate and thank our stars to have opted for Travelfunda as this was our honeymoon trip. In the end, would take this a bit further in thanking from the core of our hearts that we were truly smitten when at every check-in there was a surprise and this was topped by the honeymoon surprise during our Florence check-in. Also there were a couple of instances when we had almost committed blunders in reaching required spots a bit delayed as provided in the itinerary (due to different country, extreme weather, or alarm goof ups)- however in all such instances whenever we called Mr. Niraj, the first aspect was that, we were relieved of 50% of our worries when he used to pick the call within the first 2-3 rings and the response would be “we can look and provide some other options” - in situations when we knew deep down that providing any solution would be almost not possible as everything was meticulously planned and paid for (considering optimisation of the travel budget too). Although in one of these situations we were lucky that the actual service providers in Italy were gracious enough to accommodate us in similar trips with minimal elimination/changes of sightseeing options. And thus, it is a given that we’d be opting travelfunda/travel triangle in all our future trips. Specific things done superbly by travelfunda team are #detaileditineraryfolder #VISAguidance #timelienadherencefollowupreminders #roundtheclockavailability #loveoftravel #personalisedtravelplan #optimisedbudget #localeinsights #awesomestays Team, appreciate your passion and meticulous planning and thanks from my wife and me, for a wonderful experience. Truly obliged. Keep on designing such beautiful and wonderful ITINERARIES! Regards Amreen Begum and Ali Maruf Hassan Surprise gifts in every hotel check-in Murano-Burano sightseeing tour Tuscany tour Constant connect on calls throughout the tour helped immensely in finding trip meeting points and seeing through unexpected challenges Minute insights on localesTrip to Florence
Hotel in Rome was not good...and other hotels are good hut much far away from the main points and in that my travel adviser didn’t help me and he even not provide me cab transport facility for Florence and Venice. Memories created by us but bookings played a good role, here as well my trip company charges twice the actual cost for everythingTrip to Florence
Had a great trip to Rome, Florence, Venice and Paris. Uday and Prasanth from Travel Triangle supported us well with flight, rail tickets and hotel accommodation. They also suggested to book Skip the line tickets for major attractions and it saved a lot of time. They were also available 24/7 during the trip on phone for any queries or support. Thank you Uday and Prasanth!Trip to Europe
Dear Travel Traingle & Insane Travel team, As desired the feedback of our trip is as under: 1. Overall trip was very well planned and good, however the following areas could have been better: 1. Hotels : a) Delfino at Venice : The hotel was good and well connected to main city center by bus and very near to train station (a walking distance). However they did not have electric kettle in rooms for convenience of morning teas and instead they asked for charge of Euro 5 for the same which is generally not international practice and the same should have been made available in rooms. b) Diana Park hotel in Florence: Hotel's ambience internally was good - seemed to be in an old property renovated and converted into a hotel. Location was not near station and far from city center due to which we had to incur extra costs in commuting by taxi. Further the bathroom was very congested and narrow and elbows used to hit the bathroom fitting while taking bath. Thus it was not convenient to stay there, although room was good. The booking could have been in a hotel with better location and convenient to stay for the price charged and paid by us. c) Emona Aquaeductus in Rome: Location was far from city center and train station and thus not well connected. The room did not have electric kettle for morning tea although on request they provided the same to us. Thus from location perspective it was inconvenient to stay there. A better hotel could have been arranged for the price charged and paid by us. The hotels at Florence and Rome seemed to be family owned properties although 4 stars were displayed on the same but they did not have that international standard which we wanted and price which we paid. 2. Tour to Murano, Burano & Torcello islands in Venice was overbooked (may be due to long weekend on account of Eater holidays) due to which we were not accommodated on that day and instead were given option for trip on next day but since we were already booked for Florence the next day,we had to manage on our own as advised by tour operator(Alilaguna). We understand from Arpit Patel that the refund for the same is being processed and is expected to be given soon. Please take the above feedback not as a criticism but a way to look into weaker areas so as to improvise the same going forward. Overall we were comfortable with the quick revert from Insane travel when it mattered the most. With Best Wishes to you and team at Insane Travels Aditya Mathur & familyTrip to Europe
Italy 10 Feb 2019 - 16 Feb 2019 Tour was very well organized starting from Delhi till reaching back to Delhi. Flight and Train tickets were so well timed that we never missed breakfast. We reached hotels just the right time from Airport/Train station that we never had to wait for check-in in hotels. Airlines, Trains and cabs booked for transport were very well organized. Everything was on time no delay. We never missed any sightseeing because of delay in transportation. Hotels were good, we didn't spend much time at hotels as we were exploring the beautiful cities of Italy. All the information about important locations, mode of travel, availability of food, weather conditions, mobile phone sim card, offline google maps, clothing as per weather etc. was made available before we started. This helped us a lot in travelling and exploring our more in Italy. We visited Rome, Florence and Venice, two days stay at each city. Sightseeing of one day was booked by the agency and one day was free for us to explore on our own. In Rome Colosseum, was booked for day one (3 hr trip) it covers colosseum and two more spots nearby. Next Day we took a hop on hop off bus tour, covered the almost all the locations in Rome. In Florence, the first day was free so we explored the local sites and churches. Day two, we went for Pisa tour. It takes half a day to go and come back from Pisa. In Venice, the first day was free so we explored the Venice on our own. Spent the night of Valentine's Day in Venice, that was the best part of Venice. Next Day we went on a trip to Murono and Burano islands. Next morning cab was ready for airport transfer. Our hotels were very close to train stations, metros and Indian Restaurants, so we never had any problem with travel, transport and food. Everything was not more than 700m away. Supermarket and restaurants were close. Thank you Nisar from Memorable Vacations Holidays for the awesome arrangement.Trip to Europe
Hello Team Memorable, I visited to Europe trip organised by Memorable trip majorly Krishna, It was fully customized. trip was of 11 days in which I covered Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice), Swiss (Zurich, Interlaken, Geneva, Lucerne) & France (Paris). Trip was good with little ups and downs. Thank you so much for organizing the trip and being always available for the query during trip. I really like the availability for the staff to clarify me the things whenever needed. Only thing which I did not liked was of Paris hotel. Location was good but somehow room quality was not satisfactory. In future, I will surely go with Memorable, I also recommend same to try this once. Big Kudos to team Memorable.!! Regards, Ankit SethiTrip to Europe
It was a honeymoon travel, and we had an unforgettable trip to Italy. Everything was taken care of by holidayhub and travel triangle.
