Good, nice setting by try river. Food was. 7/10. As a solo diner, felt service was not as the tables with several people, had to ask for things.

I’m from Texas and my first time seeing this bridge was so nice. We have the 360 bridge in Austin but this was something interesting and unique to see because there are actual buildings on this bridge. How interesting is that? The shops on the bridge were all predominantly gold jewelry stores. There were all really cute. And the view from within the bridge? Just stunning. I got to see it every morning during sunrise on my walk to school there (I was studying abroad at the time). And at night? Even more stunning because they light up the bridge. 10/10 recommend going during or closely after the Christmas holidays. It’s even more stunning then with the lights around Florence.

One lovely bridge in the historical center of Florence. You can find a sun dial on the bridge and a lot of jewelry stores as the place has a history of such things dating back to Medici times. Impressive gaze of Arno river as you can see the other bridges aligning into view point.
