Florence is said to be the most beautiful city in Italy. We confirm that’s absolutely true. Check out our guide to Top 10 Instagrammable Spots in Florence to understand what we are talking about.
So, grab your camera and immerse yourself in the beauty of Florence!
1. Palazzo Medici
The beautiful palace and garden from the mid-15th century was a model for subsequent architects of Florentine houses. In addition to the interiors of the palace and baroque paintings, you can see the elegant courtyard and the Chapel of the Three Kings, with beautiful frescoes. It will look stunning in your pictures!
2. Giotto’s bell tower
The bell tower is a symbol of the city. Towering over the Duomo at a height of approximately 85 meters, this tower is considered to be the most eloquent example of 14th-century Gothic architecture in the city, visible from anywhere in the city. The views from above are truly breathtaking! After overcoming 414 steps, you will get a little tired, but what you will see is worth the effort.
3. Gucci garden
Gucci Garden is an interactive complex where fashion, food, history, and art come together. Located in the 14th-century Palazzo della Mercantia in Florence’s Piazza Signoria, the Gucci Garden is a colorful journey into the past, present, and future of the Florentine fashion house. The multi-level boutique museum includes a store selling exclusive designer pieces from the Gucci Garden, a gallery with contemporary exhibitions, and a ground-floor restaurant by rock star Massimo Bottura. It is a perfect spot for trendy Instagram pics!
4. View on Art Rooftop Cocktail
A must-visit place from our top 10 Instagrammable spots in Florence guide is View on Art Rooftop Cocktail. This famous Instagram bar is perfect for a drink with a great view. The place is already known on social media but is not as crowded as it seems. We recommend going there slightly before the sunset to enjoy the magical view during the Golden Hour.
If you are looking for a unique place for an aperitivo with an amazing panorama of the Cathedral, be sure to visit it!
5. Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral
The most beautiful building in Florence. It looks insane in real life! You can take stunning photos both inside and outside of it. Admission to it is free.
6. Uffizi Gallery
One of the oldest art galleries in Europe. Its collection includes numerous works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, and Raphael. Pictures from Uffizi Gallery will definitely make your feed more sophisticated!
7. Piazzale Michelangelo
One of the most famous squares in the city, from which there is a beautiful view of the city. Here, from a distance, you will be able to admire the monumental Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and take photos that will end up on your social media. From this square opens the most beautiful panorama of Florence as well as the most beautiful view of the sunset. We recommend being there about 1 hour before the time to take a nice spot since it will be pretty crowded.
8. Ponte Vecchio
The popular Bridge of Goldsmiths is the oldest one among the Florentine bridges. It is worth not only walking along it but also admiring it from the shore.
Tip: the best way to see Ponte Vecchio is from another bridge’s perspective. Therefore, be sure to go for a walk, for example, on Ponte alle Grazie. There you will take the best photos and avoid the crowds.
9. Bardini garden
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city you should definitely visit Giardino Bardini! It is a historic garden in Florence. It is located on a hill close to the city center and offers beautiful views of Florence and the River Arno. In addition to the fact that in the garden you will see fountains, terraces, f,lowers and sculptures, you can drink coffee or wine with an amazing view. This garden has grown in popularity in recent years and is a great vantage point. Giardino Bardini is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature!
10. Delle Oblate, public library
A close-up view of the Cathedral is an amazing experience, but it is even more so from the surrounding observation decks. If you are traveling on a budget, we recommend visiting the Delle Oblate public library. On the 2nd floor there is a café and a terrace with a beautiful view of the dome of the Cathedral del Fiore. It is worth remembering that the café in the library is closed on Mondays, and the library itself used to be the palace of the Medici – the family to whom Florence owes its present appearance.
Where to stay

Ostello Bello offers all the amenities you may need, and the prices are reasonable. It is a perfect place to meet like-minded travellers!
