Florence 2nd day

One day is not enough to see everything in Florence... too many famous points or hidden magic in the city ;)

Definitively worth to visit the terrace and the dome of the cathedral. 463 steps leads to the top. During the march you can stop admiring the marvelous fresco inside of the cupola about heaven and  hell, angels and weird , evil creatures.

On the top the view is priceless, I could see all Florence from bird's eye view around, the roofs of the houses of citizens are the same gold-brown colored, churches and other buildings emerging high from them. 

Full of the majestic impression of the day time to find some trattoria to get a pizza and a coffee, as usual here in Italy. 

Prices: entrance to the dome: 8 euro

                pizza 1/4 : 3-3,40 euro

                coffee: 1-1,5 euro

                bus ticket: 1,5 euro ( I never met with controllers;)

                

Gorgeous view from the Piazzale Michelangelo

Piazzale M.

Giardino della Rose

After packing my staff have checked-out from the hostel at 11am. We left the backpacks there and went for a last walk in Firenze. We have discovered a hill by the bank of the river randomly, So we climbed up to the Giardino delle Rose. Here were weird statues made of metal creations of some artist from the modern ages, fountains, plants, stone paths and all the hill covered by green grass. On the top of  this all was located the Piazzale Michelangelo gives place to cars to park and in the middle of the square the statue of the artist.

The panoramic view is marvelous from the hill and it’s a worthy place to say goodbye to the Dome, cobblestoned streets, the river Arno, and the gorgeous Ponte Vecchio, and see the hills and wine yards of the real Tuscany. :)
