Although the 414 stairs to the top of the bell tower was challenging, it was well worth it. Amazing views. The museum was spectacular as well with so many artifacts and information on the history of the area.

There was a long queue and I was disappointed inside the Duomo. I thought Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella were better value and far more decorative and interesting. I would not recommend.

Had a great views of the city centre from the Bell Tower. There are lots of steps but you can stop at the different floors for a break if you need to.

I made most of my reservations through Headout and it is the best, the schedules were always met and the on-site assistance staff is super attentive. The directions to find them were super clear. Thanks for the experience.
