Piazzale MichelangeloSan Niccolò · The terrace above San Niccolò with the whole city laid out across the Arno: the dome, Palazzo Vecchio's tower, the bridges. Walk up the ramps from San Niccolò for sunset, then continue up to San Miniato.San Miniato al MonteSan Niccolò · A Romanesque church on the hilltop above the Piazzale, its green-and-white front visible from the city. Free; the monks sing Vespers in Gregorian chant daily at 18:30.
Giardino delle RoseSan Niccolò · A small terraced rose garden just below Piazzale Michelangelo, with the same view and a fraction of the crowd. Best in May, when the roses flower; a quiet pause on the way up.
