1 Day in Florence? Here's How to Spend It

Over the bridge

People-watch, picture-take, and window-shop at the Ponte Vecchio, which has a beautiful view of the Arno River. You may have done some shopping already, but it will be hard to resist at least a peek at the glittering gold jewelry.

Cocktail hour

You've taken thousands of steps by now! You deserve a drink. Treat yourself to a refreshing cucumber-ginger cocktail or a glass of Tuscan wine at Golden View Open Bar, a swanky spot to unwind with a view of the river. They'll even bring you a complimentary spread of olives and crackers.
