Antique jewelry enthusiasts may want to keep an eye out for the area's gold and silversmith shops.

  • Nice place, but wow, so crowded! First time here in 25 years, and the place is overrun. Great history--just wish there were fewer people.

  • A perfect place to spend your evening walk. It looks amazing during sunset and if you stay a bit longer magic continues when city lights up. A must place to visit when you visit Florence. Bridge is lined with many jewel shops as well which is dates back to historical times.
  • It’s one of the most visited touristic areas in Florence, the old bridge over the Arno River has a beautiful view for the sunset. There are many jewelry, art and souvenir shops. There are also many restaurants, ice cream shops and pastry shops. The whole area is very lively. I highly recommend visiting it.
