Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Fountains

September 8, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Fountain of Neptune

Located at Piazza della Signoria, the Fountain of Neptune is a large, beautiful, and impressive sight to see in Florence. Although it was a very crowded area, we loved seeing this true work of art.

A quick visit to the boar and insert a coin via it's mouth for a safe return to Florence. I would recommend going early in the morning or mid evening as it was very busy when we visited. Free water near by.

Fontana di Piazza Santa Croce

Reviewed By SheltieOwner - London, Canada

This is one of the main plazas in Florence. If you are visiting on a busy day, prepare to spend a couple of hours walking around. Visit the Basilica, or just sit on the stairs and people watch. Lots of food options, little shops, architecture - plenty to keep you busy for awhile.
