what's not to love about this - the easiest of climbs, great value and - the best view of Florence you can get! Amazing views from the top of this beautiful city. Only one comment on any improvements - the instructions to start were not very clear to understand and we looked around in the Square for someone we thought we would have to meet before the climb - but all we had to do was go in the building and look for the starting place. To know that in the guide would be more helpful. Wonderful experience and will recommend to everyone!

Line-cut tickets much appreciated Splendid Arnolfo Tower with very accessible staircases, fairly wide and with many steps not too high.

Get fast-track entry to the medieval watchtower once used for defense by Florentine guardsmen.

Along the way, you will encounter cells once imprisoned Cosimo Medici and Savonarola.

Climb 233 wide steps for a comfortable ascend to the top and enjoy views of Tuscan hills, Giotto’s Bell Tower and the famous Ponte Vecchio.

Due to bad weather I was unable to make the full visit to the Arnolfo Tower. It would have been courteous to refund the ticket or give availability for another visit
