It is a wide square located near Piazza Stazione and San Lorenzo Market, with palaces typically bourgeois where lived Guido Nobili and Theodosia Gorrow Trollope wife of the writer Anthony Trollope.
If you're new to town, you might think it's a good idea to arrange meetings with your friends in Piazza Duomo. You will soon find that it's too crowded to make this practical! Pick any other spot ;-)
The highlight of the piazza is Loggia dei Lanzi: used in 1382 to hold public ceremonies. Today, it's like an open air art museum with many interesting statues.
Sempre del Giambologna, si ammirano Ercole con il Centauro Nesso. D’epoca romana è il gruppo di Menelao e Patroclo. È invece un'opera ottocentesca il Ratto di Polissena dello scultore Pio Fedi (1865).

A lot of steps (don't ask how many I lost count) but the queue can be shorter than that of the Duomo. Don't do it in August like I did. Mad dogs and Englishmen. . . 자세히 보기
The second largest Franciscan church in the world. Look for a dark mark on the columns; that’s the water level from the Flood of 1966.

One of the most undervalued museums in town is worth a visit, but open only mornings. Luckily the last Tuesday of every month it's open free from 7-11pm for 'Martedì ad Arte'!
Al primo piano la Sala degli Avori accoglie i pezzi in avorio della collezione Carrand: 265 pezzi databili tra il V e il XVII sec. tra dittici, formelle, cofanetti e valve in tema sacro e pagano.

It is located near piazza della Signoria and the National Central Library and takes its name by the Basilica that overlook the square. GOOD NIGHTLIFE! A lots of nice bars, restaurants, pub, etc..
It is on the site, first of the city's forum and then of the city's old ghetto, which was swept away during the city improvement works, when Florence was the Capital of Italy. VERY BEAUTIFUL!
It is so called to distinguish it from the old market located in the area of Piazza della Repubblica. It was intended for the sale of silk and luxury goods and then for the famous straw hats.
It is the first basilica (Dominican church). The church, the adjoining cloister, and chapterhouse contain a store of art treasures and funerary monuments. Frescoes by masters of Gothic & Renaissance.
Here you can find: GUCCI, PRADA, TOD'S, ARMANI, DOLCE E GABBANA, FERRAGAMO, CAVALLI, PEPE, SCERVINO, PUCCI, COVERI, VERSACE, VALENTINO, DIOR, LOUIS VITTON, ROLEX, CHANEL, TIFFANY, CK, BURBERRY, ETC...
Symbolism, theology, beauty – the Spanish chapel in Santa Maria Novella has it all, so make room on your next jaunt to this side of the city.

The Central Market (or Lorenzo's Market) is one of the results from the time of risanamento, the period when Florence was the capital of Italy in the late nineteenth century. GOOD SHOPPING!

Congrats on finding Florence's creepiest street! Limbo is where Dante believed unbaptized souls went; there was a cemetary here for children who died before baptism. Maybe it's slightly haunted?

The Church of Santo Stefano al Ponte Vecchio. Main art works: The front half of the church has altars from the 1500s. It has now been desecrated, and hosts a lot of events, congress and concerts
The crucifix in this church may only have been discovered in 2000, and although most experts agree it's by Michelangelo, there are still questions, but either way, it's an astonishing piece.
Here you can find classical and films' music, flowers, art critics, special events and animation organized for children. Continue to discover the other side of Florence: http://bit.ly/1dlJwXo

Love the location and the room was up to par with the price. However, as one of the premiere hotels in Florence it is expected to also have a premiere management..
