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

Piazzale Michelangelo at night allows breathtaking views of the cityscape. People love this place for taking the best pictures of the city. 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. The night view from this terrace is very beautiful at this place.

    Ankit's 9 days trip to Florence

    It was our first time experience with Street Romeo Travel Planner and we were more than delighted. They helped us in having a hassle-free trip. Starting from day 1 till the last day, not even for once were we worried for anything. Our journey, tickets, cabs, route, everything was planned in such a g
    reat way that we did not have to ask or refer anybody. Such an amazing experience it was! We would highly recommend it to our family and friends and moreover, now we have a go-to point for all our future trips. :)

    Jitender's 11 days trip to Florence

    Prompt reply by Travel Agent and nice & helpful guide Mr Sushant Vedak during the trip were the highlights. Following observations are made: 1. Date of travel was revised to 14 August 2022 from 09 August 2022 leading to increase of airfare for about Rs 44000/-. It was told that change of date was du
    e to a group of 13 people who want the trip after Raksha Bandhan feastival. There was no such group. 2. As per itinerary, we were told to reach between 8 AM to 2 PM and in the evening were supposed to go for Siene river Cruise. We reached at 0925AM in Paris. On reaching it was informed that there was no cruise that day because some people had to reach late in the evening. That day was wasted for us. All group members had reached by 7 PM. Cruise was held next day along with other itinerary thereby giving less time to other activities. On first day we had to spend our money about 100 Euros each to spend time for local visits. Either all members should have been told to reach by 12 Noon or we should have also been told to reach by evening on first day. It is requested to REFUND the first day amount to us. 3. There was heavy rush in Disneyland Paris due to some holiday in Paris. Also some activities were closed there. Itinerary should be adjusted looking into such circumstances. 3. Travel agent had told us to bring light wollen clothes though heavy wollen clothes were required in Switzerland at Jungfraugh and Mount Titlis. It is suggested due to uncertain weather in Switzerland all should be advised to take wollen clothes accordingly. View from Top Floor of Eiffel Tower Paris was marvellous. Memories of amazing Switzerland are everlasting.

    Bharat's 8 days trip to Florence

    Trip was nothing short of dream come true. Really had great fun and was able to manage everything on the trip because of the Itenary shared. One suggestion was please give help to solo traveller going abroad first time to keep cash in currency of the place they are travelling because its must requir
    ed. Another important thing would be to help people who are pure vegetarians to find indian restaurants which will really help them to have proper food because in italy its pure non vegetarian food. I would suggest to take food packets from india and also research the place of travel before going so that you already have a brief knowledge of the locations of travel. In locals in italy during night hours request to travel via taxi would be a suggestion by me to avoid any problems.

    Thank you @ Mr Rajat from hubholiday. Our trip to Italy was planned very nicely and with comfort as well. Hotels he selected were near to each and every station. Itenary was planned in a manner where we had time to rest at night but covered all iconic spots of the city. Mr Rajat was very helpful in
    timely informing about the corona issue, which was very important for me and my family to know about this outbreak of news. I would recommend from my personnel experience Mr Rajat from HubHoliday to plan tour and holidays.
