Piazzale Michelangiolo Frommer's Highly Recommended

Location Viale Michelangelo
Transportation Bus: 12 or 13

Frommer's Review

This panoramic piazza is a required stop for every tour bus. The balustraded terrace was laid out in 1885 to give a sweeping vista of the entire city, spread out in the valley below and backed by the green hills of Fiesole beyond. The monument to Michelangelo in the center of the piazza is made up of bronze replicas of David and his Medici chapel sculptures.
