How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The game's opening scene and first playable area, with a street brawl on and around the bridge.
The real place
The current bridge dates from 1345. The Vasari Corridor shown on top of it was only built in 1565, about a century after the game's events.
Visiting
The bridge is free and busy all day, so go at sunrise or late evening. The best view of it is from Ponte Santa Trinita.
