Wonderful experience, everyone MUST go! more on Yahoo! Travel

In November we stayed at the Hotel Tornabouni Beacci (wonderful hotel) very near Ponte Vecchio-a bridge with many personalitities-depending on time of day one is there-we particularly enjoyed it on weekend mornings when the river reflections were so colorful-there is in the middle of the ponte a statue to which is attached numerous locks-we never learned why? more on Yahoo!

The night was clear, and there was a man there playing a guitar and singing, it was great to see it so calm and empty, and it really lets you appreciate the structure, and not the shops. more on Yahoo! Travel

the sight is very beutiful I na the sunset and best place to visit is at morning! more on Yahoo! Travel

Even better is the view from the side of the bridge where you are able to take closeup pictures of the entire bridge. more on Yahoo! Travel
