It is as fantastic as you’d imagine. Do it. I can’t think of a more beautiful city. I stayed just up the road and walked through this place in the morning. A good start to the day!
You have to climb a significant height in order to reach at the top but when you do, you will forget about everything and just experience the mesmerizing landscape.
Michelangelo is on the southern bank of the Arno River, on the hillside in the east of the Boboli Gardens, and on the hill behind the square is the Church of San Miniato. It is one of the commanding heights of Florence and is the most famous location overlooking the city's beautiful panorama. The panoramic views of the city can be seen here in the heart of Florence, the Cathedral of the Hundred Flowers, the Castle, the Basilica of the Holy Cross, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello Art Gallery, and the Florence Bridge (including the Old Bridge). We managed to climb the hills, and we couldnt wait to see the city before sunset. The blue sky reflected the pink belt of the Arno River.
Night to see the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the color of the sun and the outer wall is justified, heaven and earth, wedding in the Renaissance Florence. As night falls, there are street artists who come here to sing along the steps. Many people sit quietly and listen here. The couples are kissing in the night and music, very romantic.

The view of the city of Florence is fascinating.
It was also a scene of the Renaissance, without any modern architecture destroyed, her skyline was heart-warming. Romantic and classical city, full of artistic fragrance, enjoy the lazy and leisurely life of Europeans on the neat streets and gardens, bid farewell to the urgency and pressure of the past, quietly appreciate the passage of time, here will not let You slow down.
Beautiful fire burning cloud, coupled with this quiet river flowing in the old town, the quiet scenery is amazing. As the raging sunset slowly declined, the city was gilded with platters. The night is coming, and at around 9:30 in Italy, the sunset gradually goes to sleep, and the lights of the old city light up, lighting up the river, the bell tower, the church, and the city hall. Its all like a fairy tale.

Introduction
Though originally intended by architect Giuseppe Poggi as a gallery to display the works of Michelangelo, today Piazzale Michelangelo is a panoramic lookout for tourists and locals alike. A sweeping view of Florence from this observation point captures the entire city: the Duomo, Forte Belvedere, Santa Croce, the Ponte Vecchio and more. After snapping a few photos, grab a cappuccino in the square's neoclassical-style restaurant and examine a bronze replica of The David which, along with a few other sculptures, were brought up the hill as an attempt to fulfill Poggi's original dream.

This is one of the best views of the city besides the top of the Duomo. I do recommend taking a taxi to the top. You can also make this a stop with a rental car on your way in and out of Florence if traveling by car.

This piazza has the best view of the entire city of Florence. It’s a bit of a hike up, but it’s totally worth it. It’s especially beautiful at night!
Wonderful views of Florence and the surrounding countryside. If visiting here, try to see the San Miniato Church nearby, very special to Florentines.
