Florence's PONTE VECCHIO

The Ponte Vecchio is a famous piece of Florence... as it is a medieval bridge with shops built hanging off its sides. This "Old Bridge" crosses the Arno River and the views are beautiful when crossing the river (whether by the Ponte Vecchio or other bridges)... as you can see the city's other bridges along the river and the picturesque buildings along either side.




Saturday in Florence began somewhat cloudy but warm... and turned into a beautiful blue-sky day by afternoon!


Walking across the Ponte Vecchio is a huge tourist attraction... the bridge gets crowded.
The photo below shows the crowd... along with a view of the top of the Duomo in the distance!
