Italy #4: Views of the city


We took lots of pictures while we were out walking around the city, and so these are just a few of my favorites. We really enjoyed the architectural heritage, monuments, and artistic charm of Florence.


There were lots of motorcycles parked everywhere in Florence, and well as buzzing through traffic very quickly.

This is the Arno River in Florence, which we crossed many times each day from our apartment to go into the main part of the city. There is one famous bridge (Ponte Vecchio, where this picture is taken from) which has lots of shops across it instead of cars.

I like this picture because of the colors and the fact that you can see statues and the Duomo's dome - just a normal view in Florence.

The Duomo is on the left, and in the center of the picture on the lamppost coming out from the building you can see the Florence coat of arms.

From the top of the Duomo - in the background is the belltower. Notice that I am keeping a tight hold in the railing, because we were up high!

A view of the city from up high. The second bridge is the famous Ponte Vecchio.

I love this view of the Duomo - it's so BIG!
