Benvenuti a Firenze!

This picture was taken from Piazzale Michelangelo, a slight climb up the south east hills of Florence. Though the stone stairs can be treacherous, the view is well worth the sore legs. Don't forget to turn around every so often as you make your way up the stairs as the city-scape of Florence emerges over the treeline.

              looking up from the bottom of the stairs... It's really not as bad as it looks I promise.
