Ponte Vecchio is one of the most iconic landmarks in Florence. This historic bridge is adorned with charming little shops and arches across the Arno River. Be warned: it is quite touristy but still worth a visit!
Hotel Portrait Firenze is a sophisticated boutique boutique hotel in the heart of Florence. Don't miss the enchanting River View suites, offering postcard-worthy views of Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti.
Tucked away atop Hotel Continentale just overlooking the river, La Terrazza is a seriously dreamy spot for a cocktail or two as the sun goes down. The whiskey sours are particularly good.
A family-run trattoria, Ostera delle Tre Panche is wonderfully authentic. We always have a hard time choosing between their fresh pasta, classic Tuscan dishes and killer pizza.
Whatever time of day, you can always eat and drink well in Florence. Looking for a little aperitivi? Head straight to Le Volpi e l'Uva for delicious nibbles and a crisp glass of Italian white wine.
