Yes, it’s a bit of a climb up the hill and then up the stairs. But it’s 5 mins exercise and worth it. Hard to imagine a better view of such a special city. Even from the Uffizi you can see the balcony in its prime location and there are few others like it. Also Lorenzo was great in all comms and went out of his way to help getting us taxis when there was a strike and none in the streets. Made it a memorable and relaxed trip when it could have been tricky
