Overview
Built in 1345, this is Florence's oldest bridge - and the only one Hitler's retreating troops chose not to blow up in 1944. Its unique row of jeweler and goldsmith shops on both sides is iconic, and overhead runs the Vasari Corridor, built by the Medici in the 16th century to link the Uffizi with Pitti Palace. At sunset, the bridge mirrored in the Arno makes one of Florence's most beloved photo spots. The goldsmiths' tradition dates from the 16th century, drawing couples who come to buy wedding rings. Free to cross. 3-minute walk from the Uffizi.
Travel Tips
Shops on the bridge pay steep rents, so prices are high. Focus on the walk and photos rather than shopping.
