Arno River

Originating from Tuscany’s Mt. Falterona and stretching 150 miles (241 kilometers) to the Ligurian Sea, the Arno River is one of central Italy’s most notable waterways, second only to the Tiber. In Florence, the river divides the city into two distinct halves, serving as a gathering spot for locals. The Arno is flanked by several bridges, including the iconic Ponte Vecchio, the oldest in the city, which offers picturesque views of the river. Visitors can stroll along the banks, enjoying the serene waters and the historic architecture that lines its shores.
