Directions

Come wander across the Ponte Vecchio, our city's treasured medieval bridge that feels more like a bustling street suspended over the Arno River. It's the only bridge the Germans spared during WWII, and as you stroll, you'll be captivated by the glittering jewelry shops that have lined it for centuries. For the best light and fewer crowds, I'd suggest an early morning or sunset visit; the views of the city from the central arches are truly something special.
