Great walk up the hill and steps, but don't waste time walking up to Fort Belvedere on the right as it is closed. Best view of Firenze and you can walk down via another path.

If you can make the climb, it is up hill by road and steps, the view, particularly at sunset is fabulous. Can buy a drink or icecream at the top and sit and let the atmosphere pour over you.
