5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Within 3 blocks from the duomo, shopping. Plenty of restaurants.
5/5 - Excellent

Wonderful inside, and the meridian line very interesting.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
I found the inside to be a bit underwhelming compared to other cathedrals I have visited. The outside takes your breath away, and the climb to the top of the Brunelleschi's Dome is amazing. It's worth the workout! You must reserve tickets to the dome ahead of time.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Outside is amazing. Skip the line tour to only get inside not worth it, but would have been worth it if we could have climbed to the top.
5/5 - Excellent

No wait. Important artwork here. Amazing. My favorite little church
