How to get there from
Hotel Meridiana |
| Michelangelo's David - Galleria dell'Accademia |
500 metres |
To view the original David (there are 7 lifesize
replicas located in the center of Florence) Turn right upon
exiting Hotel. Walk down Viale Don Minzoni and head for Piazza
san Marco - the Galleria dell'Accademia is located near this
square. |
| Fortezza da Basso - Trade and Exhibition Center
Florence |
900 metres |
Turn right and walk down Viale Don Minzoni.
Go straight through Piazza della Liberta and proceed on to
the Fortezza da Basso which is where all the Pitti Fairs are
held plus many others. |
| Duomo |
1.5 km |
Turn right upon exiting hotel and proceed to
Piazza San Marco. Go straight ahead and follow Via Cavour
until you get to the Duomo. NB it is very difficult to miss
the Duomo as it is located in the historical city center of
Florence and by Florentine law no building is allowed to be
higher than it. |
| Uffizi Gallery |
2 km |
Probably need to get a bus to see the Uffizi
gallery as it is located right next to the River Arno. NB
see our concierge staff to arrange tickets for the Uffizi
to avoid the lengthy queues which tend to form particularly
in the Spring/Summer months. |
| Piazzale Michelangelo and the Ponte Vecchio |
2 km |
Enjoy the stunning views of panoramic Florence
from Piazzale Michelangelo. Alternatively, enjoy an ice cream
whilst strolling back and forth on the Ponte Vecchio, the
oldest bridge in Florence. Both attractions are located in
the city center approximately 2 km from the Hotel Meridiana
Florence. |
