The best of this piazza is when you sit and the time just return! You fell like the Medicis still live there and all the Italian virtuosos walk around.

Great spot to take a table at one of the many café options and enjoy a leisurely drink( or light meal) and see one of Florence's most historic "squares" on display. This is like a living museum wherever you look; Uffizi Gallery in the background, Fountain of Neptune,copy of Michaelangelo's David. It is open and bright! Dislikes- too crowded in... More

Great statues and breathtaking architecture. Definitely the best piazza we visited. Bustling area unsurprisingly.

A beautiful piazza with some excellent examples of Renaissance sculptures. Take time to study each one from all angles and marvel at the quality of the workmanship of the artists.

We walked through here several times over the duration of our visit. It was cool to see, but it wasn't really an item on our agenda. We didn't stop to really study the statues, except maybe once. It's neat to see, but it won't take you long to get through, unless you really enjoy studying the details of statues.

Standing there I often imagine it's the time of the Medicis and Leonardo and Michaelangelo are going to walk by. And I love to visit the spot where Savonarola was burned at the stake. It's the Bonfire of the Vanities come to life.

I would highly recommend this Piazza. Has a lot of sculpture from B.C. The Gallaria Uffizi is located just steps away. Lots of food shop and street vendors.

This square was bustling with people everytime we visited. It's probably the second most busiest tourist spot in Florence after the square which house the Duomo. Like the Duomo square there is plenty to see with statues of Neptune, David and many other statues. It also houses another of the former houses of the Medici family which is now used... More
