G	Guilherme Locatelli on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Renaissance Architecture from the XVI century. Just beside the tower a beautiful fountain and park. Good for stroll with dog and family. Amazing ambience to spend free time. Just upwards the Giardino di Bobolli. I highly recommend Florence, it is an open wide museum the entire city itself. History and art in every single corner .
t	travis higley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a really cool looking tower. I discovered it on my way up to Piazzale Michaelangelo and wish I could have explored it more. There was a sign that said they offered tours, there just wasn't any when I was here. Around it though is a gorgeous garden and some water falls and great views.

M	Manuel Franke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Tower of San Niccolò, once part of a gate or porta in the former defensive walls of Florence, is now located, isolated in piazza Giuseppe Poggi, in the district of Oltrarno, Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. The portal was first erected in 1324. The tower and its gate were elaborated in the designs of Arnolfo di Cambio for circumferential walls around Florence. These walls were, in the main, destroyed in the 19th century as a project of urban renewal, Risanamento, in part led by Giuseppe Poggi. This tower was spared, in part because of its panoramic view of the city. There are 160 steps to the summit.
G	Gregory Clarke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning piece of history right there, right at the bottom near the river, you couldn’t actually enter the tower from the bottom, doesn’t seem you can do this anymore and it just sits there for the eye only. Very close to other attractions in the area like Fontane delle rampe del Poggi and Piazzale Michelangelo History - The tower and its gate were elaborated in the designs of Arnolfo di Cambio for circumferential walls around Florence. These walls were, in the main, destroyed in the 19th century as a project of urban renewal, Risanamento, in part led by Giuseppe Poggi.

B	Benson Leng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful renaissance period tower gate. With the fountain on its back. N also on they way up to Michelangelo square.
J	Julian Thomer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great tour from the guide and the "climb" is rewarded with an awesome view over the city, definitely worth the price!
