    Ponte Vecchio – the “Old Bridge” – a medieval stone bridge over the Arno, still having shops built along it. And especially beautiful at sunset!

    Lunch at the Mercato Centrale – downstairs there is a market and upstairs you have all the choices of different restaurants, street food and much more!
