Asking what the best views of Florence are risks being a rhetorical question, as Piazzale Michelangelo is the most significant and famous panoramic viewpoint in the city. A must-see destination for tourists visiting the Tuscan capital, the famous square with one of the three copies of David guarantees a breathtaking view of the historic center in all its splendor.
The terrace, designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi in 1869 to celebrate Michelangelo and his works, is a must-see for those who want to capture Florence from above, especially at sunset and from a picturesque photographic angle. Today, however, the square is crowded with stalls and prey to overtourism, which has a negative impact on the area, the local community, and their balance.
