Palazzo Vecchio is easy to find, we didn't have to wait at the entrance, and we could head freely up to the top of the tower. Splendid views of the Duomo and the old town. This experience was the perfect start to our trip.

Access to the tower was very easy.. Just note that there are a lot of steps inside the town hall before you get to the tower climb. Once in the tower you can stop for a rest in a little room which was a prison and then half way up there is 360 viewing before making the last climb to top. At the top there are great views over Florence and the the duomo. Well worth the effort. This is a good choice if you feeling climbing the duomo dome or the Campanile bell tower is too much.

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.

Quite a challenge to make it up the 450 odd steps but well worth it for the fantastic panoramic views!

Guides very helpful if asked worth the steps for the amazing views including the Duomo so a better tower to climb lots of resting places if needed
