Let's see..It's filled with wonderful sculptures...it's free...it's open-air....the people-watching is great...there's plenty of space, so it was never crowded (mid-April for us)...there is almost always music in the evening...it's perfectly located - you're bound to pass by. Yep, I'd say that if it's not the single best "can't miss", it sure has to be arguably the #1 "Why would you... More

Worth seeing briefly, most of the originals can be seen elsewhere. Go early if you do not want to step on the tourists that are sitting everywhere.

Right next to the Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria, the beautiful loggia is an open-air museum filled with incredible sculptures including Perseus, the Rape of the Sabine Women, and Hercules & Nessus. The location makes it a perfect place to sit and people watch. Not to be missed!

It's a free open air sculpture museum right in the Piazza de la Signoria. Beautiful sculptures, and,unlike the copy of David just across, they are the original ones. It's for fre and there's no queing.

In my opinion this is the one stop you should make. The statues are out in the open and it's the closest you can get to such beautifully carved statues. I wish I could visit Benvenuto Cellini's "Perseus" statue every day.

Here are a collection of wonderful works of art just beside the Palazzo Vecchio and you can many times listen to singers or watch a street mime there too. It is a fantastic display which you simply must stop and enjoy, for sure!

I belive only in a place like Florence you can walk, have a seat, a chat or recover from the sun or from the rain, while you are surrounded by such amazing masterpieces which you expected to find into some worldclass museum in London or Paris... It really helps you to understand the true essence of the Italian Renaisance

The Loggia dei Lanzi has been seen in countless films that have used Florence for on-location shots. The loggia is boldly designed and easy to spot when you reach Piazza della Signoria. You'll regognize it immediately. Its three bold arches support a vaulted roof which shelters the ancient Roman and Renaissance Florentine sculptures. And the area is a gathering spot... More
