    Highlight of Florence

    There is so much to do here. The Duomo complex is amazing and it is surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. Lovely to relax with a coffee and gaze at the amazing architecture.

    Most stunning church in my opinion

    I visited the Vatican but in terms of exterior architecture, this church is something else. The interior is kind of ok if you compare it with other beautiful churches in Italy but the views from the Dome and the Bell Tower are to die for....More

    Imposing sights

    As you stand there taking in the imposing wonders of the Duomo, the Cathedral, the Bell Tower and the Baptistry, the world carries on around you. Just be aware of pick pockets.

    Spectacular. Worth seeing both by day and night

    Fantastic place - the Duomo, the Baptistry, lots of other monuments. Centre of Florence. Unmissable. If you have only time for one monument, go for the Baptistry. Great place to hang around in the evening, eating gelato.

    Climb to the Terrace

    View from the terrace is amazing! Definitely worth the climb up, as you'll have a 365 degree view of the city! Also, it's only 463 steps. I would also recommend booking the 4:30pm tour, as it's the last tour of the day (read: fewer people...More

    Duomo
    Florentia, as it was called by Latins, is permeated by
    an eternal beauty spread in all corners of the city.
    The historic center is characterized by the immensity
    of the Duomo, able to transport tourists into the
    brightest age of Florence: the Renaissance. Who does
    not know the Brunelleschi Dome, San Giovanni
    Baptistery and the Giotto’s Campanile? Everything is
    enclosed here and it would be easy to imagine the city
