Great view wonderful way to see city from high. Be prepared to walk up 400 steps in a very narrow space but so worth the trek.
Bell tower good, little queue to it
Takk for tilbakemeldingen din. Vi er glade for å høre at du likte opplevelsen i klokketårnet og den vakre utsikten. Vi ønsker å presisere at sikkerhetskontrollen ved katedralen er obligatorisk for alle besøkende og kan ikke hoppes over av sikkerhetsmessige årsaker. Fordelen med forhåndsreserverte billetter er at du slipper køen ved billettluken og også unngår skuffelsen ved at billetter samme dag ofte er utsolgt, spesielt i travle perioder.
Good value for the money. So many stairs in the Bell Tower, but worth it. Museum is well done. Bapistry was underwhelming
The ticket included all the ‘buildings’ we wanted to see. The view from the Bell Tower was fantastic.
What problems: ticket sold several times? I don't know... at least the ticket reader at the entrance said that my ticket had already been used...
The climb to the tower is worth it. We did not climb the Duomo, but I believe that the view is more beautiful from here than from there, because you can see the Duomo from outside and it is beautiful. It's worth the rise. The day before we received the tickets online and we didn't even need to meet with ngm, it was just to arrive at the agreed time. The ticket of the right to visit the Duomo without taking the immense main queue, to the museum behind the Duomo and the basilica in front.
The view deserves because you have to overcome the 414 steps! Beautiful 360° view. Too bad the wire mesh prevents you from taking beautiful photos. Easier for photos at the top of the cathedral dome.
Everything went smooth picking up our tickets. At first we were having a hard time finding the gentleman holding sign but asked someone and found him. The views were amazing and worth the climb!
We all really enjoyed this experience. Early visit is a good idea as I think later in the day it would be very hot to climb 414 steps to the top of the bell tower. I chose this rather that the Duomo as you have to climb between the two layers of the dome, which, for some, may be a little claustrophobic. the Duomo is around 40 steps higher so not much in it in terms of the spectacular view you have from the top. its worth noting that there is only one set of stairs so up and down share the stairway some people wait for wider gaps to pass and others do not. the entrance to the Cathedral is timed and you wait outside closed wooden doors near the bell tower not where the queue is for un-ticketed entrance. when it is your time slot they open the doors admit you and close them again, i can see how people have said finding entry is confusing. You cannot enter with a back pack of any size, it goes in a locker next to the museum so allow time to do this. Ladies you need to have your knees covered so do not wear shorts or a very short skirt/dress. Likewise shoulders must be covered so wear T-shirt/ short sleeved blouse or have a wrap to drape. cathedral and crypt allow non flash photography. Your ticket allows you untimed entry to the Baptistery and museum until 18:00 giving you time for a coffee break / lunch the buildings are cool, the tower is not so pick your time carefully as hotter months will be a tougher climb. I would agree that there is not a need to climb both tower and dome. We were happy with the tower and stunning views, but appreciate others may much prefer the experience of climbing the Duomo
I was a little unsure about tackling the steps at first, but after mustering the courage I made my way up Giotto’s Bell Tower — and I’m so glad I did. The views over Florence are absolutely stunning. The staircase is quite narrow in places, so be prepared to step aside to let others pass. Thankfully, there are several floors along the way where you can pause, catch your breath, and sit down before continuing to the top. It’s well worth the climb for the incredible panorama waiting above.
