The Arno River runs through Florence and is spanned by the famous Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge"), and the river served as a "highway" for shipments from the sea and warring soldiers from nearby cities. Today, the Arno River may not be critical as a means of shipping or armies, but it is a natural landmark that has a charming beauty, especially at sunset, where you can take a walk along the bank and enjoy the view of the surrounding buildings and the wonderful natural scenery there.
