I’ve visited the Duomo a few times but never climbed to the top. I finally made a plan to climb the 463 stairs to the top to see the amazing view. It took us about an hour to climb the stairs and get to the top, but it was totally worth it. The views of the red rooftops of Florence, the view of the Arno River and the Tuscan hill were breathtaking and once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.

Very nice cathedral, the exterior is very beautiful and nicely lit up at night. Inside is okay, the ceiling is very nicely decorated and you can also get a ticket to visit the roof top and the museum as well. You can also check out the chapel. This Piazza is very beautiful and a nice place to take a walk. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend checking it out when in Florence.

And the Lord God said “build me a big church “ and so it was written, all that guff aside, this is one of the imposing, huge and glorious buildings I have ever seen, huge and majestic, a real landmark for Florence, the area is safe, restaurants are good, your never more that a kilometre from most of the sights, it’s free to enter and beautiful in side, not brassy like most churches, just beautiful. Enjoy you day well spent here

It’s one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen. The architecture is magnificent. The colors are awesome. It looks super beautiful. I am absolutely in love with it. It is a must see attraction in Florence. Also the whole square is full of beautiful attractions and nice cafes and restaurants.

A location with a fantastic view of the beautiful cathedral. It is a stunning sight, especially in the early morning light. The place is flooded with tourists, so I recommend visiting as early in the morning as possible. Beware of many scammers in the area, especially the ones who put 'paintings' on the ground, waiting for a tourist to accidentally step on one.

Magnificent place in the city. Incredible view and amazing cathedral. I was in awe for longtime. This is a really unique place that when visiting Florence cannot be missed. Maybe the centerpiece of every trip to Florence. Around the place you will find all the shops and other places to visit.

The architecture is so beautiful! It is a must visit for everyone. You'll be amazed by the size of the building and it will leave you wondering about the engineering knowledge back then. If you can physically climb the stairs then going up is a must - Breathtaking views.

The historic site itself is absolutely amazing! The architecture is beautiful! However, having to walk the road filled with vendors that are trying to sell counterfeit watches, purses, and everything else needs to be addressed as it takes away from the site as a whole!

No matter how many times I visit, everytime I am breath taken by this magnificent Duomo! Day or night, this place keeps baffling me! I enjoy walking around, enjoying the beauty of this piece of art and architecture, taking photos then sitting in one of the little cafes sipping on my tea and admiring the beauty of this place! I will always come back to just enjoy this bell tower and cathedral from the outside!

The lively heart of Florence. Whether you are visiting the cathedral, climbing the dome or the bell tower, you absolutely have to come by this piazza and admire the beauty of this place. It's really hustling and bustling in the peak summer season, whether it be crowds for entering the Duomo, or just sitting and having a drink in the nearby cafés, or souvenir shopping in one of the numerous stores around, this place is a must visit or your Florence visit would remain incomplete. Sit here and soak in the beauty and charm all around.

Hiked to the top of the dome. It was hot, sweaty, tight, crowded, and tiring, but it was absolutely awesome and worth every step. The artwork of the dome is so much more appreciated up close and the 360 degree panoramic views outside the top of the dome are fantastic. Make this climb if you come to Florence, Italy!

Wow... Piazza del Duomo made an incredible impression on me. Florence, the capital of the Renaissance, has so much to offer, it will certainly be difficult to visit everything in a few days of your vacation, but the Duomo Cathedral, Giotto's Bell Tower, Brunelleschi's Dome, the Baptistery and the museum are definitely a must-see. I recommend buying a combined ticket for all attractions, the price is about €30, it is also worth coming early in the morning, then there is not such large crowds of tourists.

It was a breath taking site. We were not out to visit but just taking a walk around Florence and we turned around the corner to see the magnificent site. It was beautiful from every elevation

Piazza del Duomo in Florence, Italy, is a breathtaking square dominated by the stunning Florence Cathedral, Giotto's Campanile, and the Baptistry. The harmonious blend of architectural masterpieces creates a mesmerizing setting. Visitors are immersed in Renaissance art and culture, making it a central hub for exploring Florence's rich history. The lively atmosphere, iconic landmarks, and vibrant energy make Piazza del Duomo an unforgettable experience.

During my recent visit to Piazza del Duomo, I observed a bustling atmosphere with a mix of locals and tourists. The architectural beauty of the cathedral and surrounding structures is undeniable. However, the high number of street vendors and crowds made it a bit challenging to fully appreciate the serene ambiance one might expect in such a historic square. Overall, it's a must-visit for its cultural significance, but be prepared for the lively, sometimes crowded environment.

Incredibly beautiful place! Even when I saw it for the second time, I was in awe! It is a pity that the restoration is slow, it loses its beauty over the years. Photos will not convey the feeling as you would like. You have to see it with your own eyes.

Amaxing place. Astonishing place. Fantastic. Impressive. To die for!

This place has no menu. They make fresh foccacia based pizze every day so the food is never the same. Only 5 tables available so be there in time if you want a spot. Definitely worth a visit for a fast luch with a glass of wine.

One of the most iconic places in Italy. This place is even better since it is closed to vehicles traffic. You can't go to Florence without paying a visit to this square.

Very impressive central cathedral in Florence. Well restored (still some work being done). Due to CV the crowds were manageable. Usually this is not the case so when photographing, try to come early.

It's an iconic place where some of the most unique landmark buildings create a magic atmosphere. It's hard to grasp how centuries ago, without any power that we are so accustomed to, they were able to build such an amazing architettural ensemble that outlast any modern building. Even the very little marble inlays are a display of how talented or ancestors were.

Absolutely magical place, good coffee shops as well

Huge and intricate architecture. Can't comment further as I didn't go inside although there was quite a queue to go in

One of the mpst impressive and detailed domes I have been to, and the bright colors are <3 ! Smaller visitor area due to covid-19 but still totally worth it!

Absolutely stanning as always, I love it specially in summer with a blue sky and good vibe. It's a must see!!!

Amazing, must see in Florence. It's pretty crowded to go in, so i recommend to take guided tour since there is 493 stairs to go up. And you can only be up about 15 minutes. I left inside visit for some other time. Just seeing outside and how magnificent this monument is it's good enough for the first time

One of the best areas to visit and hang out in Firenze! - The historical architecture is amazing - Day and night time views should be seen separately - The paintings on the walls are incredible - Overall vibe is amazing, very refreshing - Restaurants nearby are great, mostly friendly and welcoming - Usually lines for entry is too long - Amazing museums nearby

Amazing tour guide with get your guide. We were able to go to the upper level inside, the roof and even to the top dome outside. Breathtaking views of all of Florence. You do not want to miss it. Narrow steep stairs so be careful. My 6ft 240lbs husband had to really squeeze and bend a few times to get up there.

Fantastic architecture full of history. This is a must to see when visiting Florence. Definitely book in advance if you want to see inside as the queues were long. I absolutely loved it

Beautiful cathedral with exquisite domed ceiling. Remember to bring something to cover your shoulders (especially for women during the warmer months). Free to see much of the interior. Iconic building in Florence.

Book for the tower view in advance and the slots are sold soon morning. It's was kind of sunny too. It was so lively after the pandemic and much needed. 🇮🇹🇪🇺 For best time I'll suggest early morning and evening and night 🌆. Mid day is 🥵🥵🥵🌡️

Breathtaking architecture!! Expect large crowds during the day and buy tickets online for tours. You'll find it less crowded at night if you want to take nice pictures of the entire architecture:)

It is defined one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen. The architecture is so atypical with awesome colours. This is a must see attraction in Florence!

Great place to visit! You must come here if you’re visiting Florence! It’s one of the main attractions . It has a beautiful church you can visit, and there’s usually singers and musicians performing on the streets.

The Exterior, the Interior, the Climb and the Paid Experience First of all, the exterior of this cathedral is among the best design of about twenty cathedrals I have seen in Europe. Viewing the exterior is of course free and does involve waiting in lines. I give five stars to the exterior. I enjoyed my ascent up the tower, but have to say it is the tightest squeeze of any cathedral stairways I have climbed. The climb wasn't a problem for me, but you should know it's pretty tight. Once you squeeze through to the top, the views are worth it Old buildings are all impressive and this cathedral is no different. Some cathedrals, have great exteriors like this one, others don't. Few cathedrals have both an amazing interior and exterior. The interior is not spectacular. If the free line is short to get in the cathedral then I would go in. If the line is long, there are many other sites in Florence I would wait in line for, before waiting to go to the Cathedral. If you paid to see the underground church, the tile is impressive.

This piazza is the place to go if you want to get up close to Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral (aka Florence Cathedral), the breathtakingly gorgeous marble basilica you can see from just about anywhere in the city. Here you'll get to stand beneath not only the cathedral, but Giotto's Bell Tower, and the Baptistery of St. John. In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful places in Florence, if not all of Italy. The marble exterior of these buildings is so unique it blew me away even after spending an entire week visiting the massive basilicas of Rome. If you visit Florence, there's no question, this has to be a stop as you traverse this wonderful city!

Marvelous. The amount of beauty gives one such an incredible energy boost and pleasure. The entrance to the cathedral is free, but it is not always allowed for tourists. The two most important artistic museums, “Ufizzi” and “Academia” are nearly located. Food and drink could be expensive, but it is quite possible to find more ordinary places in nearby streets, with decent prices and very tasty food. Everyone should visit it.

Absolutely breathtaking. Take a moment and look up the history. How the baptistery was built first, the dome not added for 100+ years etc leaving the cathedral open to the elements, then soak it all up. A magnificent place.

This area is absolutely stunning! The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore Duomo is absolutely stunning and being in this area is breathtaking so much so that there was a wedding couple doing their photos in front of it! The cathedral itself on the outside is massive and beautiful, I wish we were able to go inside to have a look. This area seems very popular with locals and tourists alike as many people were just hanging around the area

Climbed the Duomo for first time since college backpacking trip. Highly recommend going off season. Too hot too crowded in summer. Fabulous frescoes and amazing vistas from the top.

Absolutely stunning. There were very long queues so I recommend prebooking online, this gets you immediate access. The dome climb was closed for renovation (November 23)

Piazza del Duomo, the heart of Florence, is a captivating symphony of art and architecture. Bordered by the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's Campanile, and the Baptistery, the square is an open-air museum. Standing amidst the pristine white marble of the Baptistery, I felt transported to another era. The intricate detailing on Giotto's Campanile spoke of artistic mastery. The grandeur of the Cathedral's facade, adorned with statues and relief work, created a striking visual spectacle. Piazza del Duomo is not just a collection of landmarks; it's a vibrant hub where locals and visitors converge. Street performers add a lively touch, and the surrounding cafes provide a perfect vantage point to soak in the beauty of Florence. The atmosphere changes with the day, from the soft glow of morning sunlight to the enchanting twilight. As the sun sets behind the Cathedral, the square transforms into a magical space, highlighting the timeless allure of Piazza del Duomo as the beating heart of Florence.

Can't describe how beautiful this place is. 100% a must see. The queue for inside entry is too long sometimes, but if you get there before closing much easier to enter
