Santo Spirito and Michelangelo Piazzale

A quick bus ride to the other side of the Arno to check out the Santo Spirito Church and Piazza Market then a walk to Porta Roma to catch another bus up to the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte, San Salvatore al Monte Church and the Piazzale Michelangelo before hiking down the hill past Fontane della Rampe del Poggi to Porta San Niccolo and the bus home!
