can't really miss it, we did not went up because the line to go up was very Long andit was really warm in the sun.

The beauty of this building is outside, so don't bother joining long queues to make the ascent : that's best left to the ignorant "Theme Park" orientated mass tourists, there's nothing inside except a staircase! That said,with the Baptistery it's probably the most beautiful part...More

The best time to avoid a long queue is early morning, but you don't get the best view of the duomo as the sun is rising behind it. Wonderful views of Florence and its hills makes the 400 steps well worthwhile.
