Traveling is wonderful, but remembering the places you've visited and the moments you enjoyed there is even better.
Photographs help us capture these moments and trasform it in memories, allowing us to relive the experience and immerse ourselves in the culture long after we've left. So, why not create a list of must-visit photo spots during your stay in Florence?
Let's go to organize the perfect place just to be the right person in the right place...
Piazzale Michelangelo
The first place you absolutely must visit and get a photo from is the famous Piazzale Michelangelo. From the top of this small hill overlooking the city, you can admire the historic center of Florence. You'll feel like you can touch each monument, from the Dome of the Cathedral to Palazzo Vecchio, from the Church of Santa Croce to the nearby National Library, and a little further away, the Jewish Synagogue with its distinctive turquoise dome. This enchanted spot is at its best during sunset when the sun paints the sky in a blanket of orange, making the red roofs of Florence seem even more radiant.
Ponte Santa Trinita
Another spot that has become a pilgrimage site for newlyweds from all over the world who come to Florence to celebrate their eternal union is Ponte Santa Trinita. The best photos here are taken in the late afternoon, with your back to the Ponte Vecchio. Voilà, magic happens: you get a beautiful portrait with you in the foreground and the iconic Ponte Vecchio behind you, so well-lit that it looks like a poster, making your photo a masterpiece.
Piazza della Signoria
Finally, the last spot to take a photo that will also serve as a memory of your Florentine stay is definitely Piazza della Signoria. Coming from Via Calzaioli, as soon as you step into the square, you'll find a point where you can take a memorable photo with Palazzo Vecchio in the background. From this position, the monument appears much more imposing than it actually is, thanks to an architectural trick by Arnolfo di Cambio. When he designed the palace, which was to be the seat of the Florentine government, he wanted to give it an important and commanding presence.
So, don't forget to bring your camera or smartphone to these iconic spots in Florence. Capture these moments and let your photos remind you of the beauty, history, and magic of this incredible city. A good picture is a good memory of your life moments...
