Florence is one of the most romantic towns in the world and if you are planning to propose to your partner there is no better place. But, before you do propose, read our list of the most romantic spots to scout out in Florence.

Piazzale Michelangelo

The best place in town to propose is almost certainly Piazzale Michelangelo, the city’s most famous belvedere located on the top of a hill overlooking Florence. From here you can enjoy stunning vistas over the town and admire the most important buildings of Florence, such as the Duomo, Palazzo della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio.

Giardino di Boboli

The most famous and largest garden of Florence is part of the Pitti Palace, a building that was once home to the powerful Medici family. However, Boboli is not only a garden, it is a piece of art: there are plenty of caves, fountains, statues, quiet corners and tunnels made entirely of plants and flowers, that are the perfect location for your special moment.

Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio is one of the most charming spots for proposals in town but in winter time and preferably after sunset; during the spring and summer days it’s always very crowded and it won’t be easy to get the job done. But if you are lucky enough to be in town at a quiet time, you can’t miss the chance to propose to your partner in one of the most ancient and famous spots of Florence.

On a charming hotel terrace

If you are looking for a space with fewer people around and a more unique setting, book a table at a hotel terrace in the centre of town. We recommend the Sesto on Arno, in Piazza Ognissanti – one of the best places in town where you can enjoy views of almost all the bridges in Florence.
