The best place to take in said view is from the Piazza Bovio, beloved for its incredibly far-reaching view of the sea. Named after a Republican free thinker from Apulia, Giovanni Bovio, who spent his life pursuing ideals of justness, it is the largest square surrounded by the sea in Europe. A site that has been popular for centuries, it juts out into the sea, acting as a natural terrace and as a perfect viewing point for the most extraordinary view across the Tuscan Archipelago and Elba Island, in particular.
Today it isn't just locals who are in the know, the piazza is a famous tourist sight and is a must-see spot for anyone visiting the city. Come to the piazza to take in the view and then go for a stroll along the seafront – the ideal way to finish up dinner and a night on the town in Piombino. Digest as you digest the amazing sight before you and the setting sun paints miraculous endless blue of the sky and sea.
