The medieval architecture of the bridge, with its arches and houses built on top, makes it unique and fascinating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Craft Shops<\/strong>: As you walk along the bridge, you can explore the various jewelry and craft stores. Many of these stores offer unique and handcrafted pieces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>View of the Arno River<\/strong>: The bridge offers a beautiful view of the Arno River and the beautiful buildings that line it, including the outside of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhhotelgroup.it\/en\/blog\/uffizi-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Uffizi Gallery<\/strong><\/a>. It is a great place to take photos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vasari Corridor:<\/strong> This elevated corridor was built by Giorgio Vasari in 1565 to connect the Palazzo Vecchio to the Pitti Palace. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public. This secret corridor was commissioned by Cosimo I de&#8217; Medici to allow the grand ducal family to move around safely, without having to mix with the people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bust of Benvenuto Cellini<\/strong>: In the center of the bridge, on the east side, is a bronze bust dedicated to Benvenuto Cellini, a famous Florentine sculptor and goldsmith of the Renaissance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhhotelgroup.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/turiste_ponte_arno_trinita.jpg\" alt=\"FH55 Hotels - Ponte Vecchio in Florence: where it is, what to see, and how to get there 1\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-3\"><\/span>Where it is located and how to get to Ponte Vecchio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Walking<\/strong>: The center of Florence is quite compact, and the best way to get to the Ponte Vecchio is to walk.
