I can see why they wouldn't allow big backpacks but I had a small one and saw many people go up with similar size but I was told to leave in a locker. This should be the first thing advertised and not on the bottom like small print. Other than that the experience was great

It was a real experience. But you have to be careful what you don't see. We would have liked to go into the dome, but our ticket didn't cover that. So the cathedral, baptistery, campanile and museum were very nice. There was a lot to see. We'll do the dome next time.

It was a good experience. We got very good views from the top of the bell tower. The interior of the duomo was really peaceful and enriching. Also the terrace of the museum gave a good close up to the Duomo. Climbing the bell tower was a bit exhausting. But in all it was a good experience.

Our experience at the Duomo Bell Tower was nothing short of breathtaking! Purchasing tickets online was a breeze, and we received PDF tickets in minutes. Having them on our phone to be scanned at the entrance was so convenient. The tickets also provided plenty of information and directions. The climb to the top was definitely worth it! The panoramic views of Florence were absolutely stunning, offering a unique perspective of this beautiful city. I was amazed by the intricate details of the bell tower itself, and the opportunity to see the bells up close was a memorable experience. I highly recommend visiting the Duomo Bell Tower to anyone visiting Florence. It's an experience you won't forget!

The Duomo is unique structurally, which can only be experienced when between the inner and outer shells, and the view over Florence from the top is fabulous. It's also great to see the frescoes in the dome close up. All that said, we didn't have the best experience with headout. Only when we got close to the front of the line they told us we needed to check our backpack and weren't very clear as to where. When we returned, we waited quite a while to enter.

Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as The Duomo is a prominent landmark in Florence. Travel back in time through its hundreds of years of history and learn some interesting facts about the cathedral, a major architectural masterpiece ahead of its time.

Brunelleschi’s Dome continues to stun and intrigue to this day. The building plan was entered into a contest by Filippo Brunelleschi, an amateur architect with no serious training. After much contemplation, confusion, and controversy, his double-shell design was accepted and finally built. The result was a stunning masterpiece capable of withstanding lightning, earthquakes, and the passage of time.

If you choose a ticket with Giotto's Bell Tower, be prepared to climb over 400 steps! It's worth it in the end though as you'll be treated to a panoramic view of Florence. The Campanile is a true example of Florentine Gothic architecture from the 13th-century and was built by Giotto, one of the principal artists and architects of the time.

With the Museum and Baptistery ticket, you'll get to see over 750 works covering over 720 years of history. From Arnolfo to Donatello, up to Ghiberti and Michelangelo, the greatest Florentine sculptures in the world are here, at the Opera del Duomo Museum, for you to explore. Continue onwards to the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest churches in Florence, located right in front of the cathedral. The Baptistery is topped by an eight-segment dome resting on its walls but it is best known for its three sets of bronze doors that come with relief sculptures - Michelangelo dubbed the east doors the Gates of Paradise.
