Dusk

I was interested in night time photos around the river, so it was past the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio and the Ufizzi to the banks of the Arno.

River Arno at night

Looking towards Piazzale Michelangelo, which is the area with the lights near the top of the distant hill. This is looking roughly east.

Ponte Vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio at dusk, showing the shops and the Vasari Corridor atop.

Looking through the Ufizzi Palace to Palazzo Vecchio

Looking along the Uffizi gallery towards Palazzo Vecchio (the tower) and ultimately the Duomo.

Ponte Vecchio

The bust is of Renaissance master goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini (1500 - 1571). It is in the centre of the bridge, on the western side.

Looking north along Ponte Vecchio, that is, back towards the Duomo etc.

Piazza della Repubblica and late night diners

On the way back to the hotel, this is the Piazza della Repubblica, showing the typical Italian late dining style. This was about 9:30.

So it was time to head back to the hotel, to take care of the sorts of daily chores so beloved of travellers!
