Strolling on the Hills of Florence

As the Finnish nature offers no pretty views at the moment, I’ll take you for a walk on the steep hillsides of Arcetri / Oltramo in Florence. This is part of the historic centre of Florence and there are many notable sites. I have posted earlier about Santo Spirito and The Boboli Gardens. Actually I had no idea where I was, but later I found out that these fantastic hedges & arches belonged to Bardini Garden.

It was my first day in Florence, early Sunday morning. First I went to see Palazzo Pitti and The Boboli Gardens. High on the hills I started to walk on the steep hills & narrow roads. The views were magnificient towards the center. At the same time church bells were chiming and a male choir was singing in the distance, on Piazzale Michelangelo. The moment was magic, as if a travel in time back to the Renessaince ❤︎ I got lost too and had to ask my way back to the center! 

The stonewalls bordering the narrow roads were high inded.

Please, note a few persons at the foot of the photo!

I found the choir on Piazzale Michelangelo, it was crowded with people and cars.

Amazing views over Florence!
