A
So much to see and it’s...
So much to see and it’s an amazing experience, just be prepared for a long tour. I’d say it’s mostly a tour of the museum and a few minutes to visit the chapel. The Basilica is your time but a must see. A bit more history would have been nice.

Florence Duoma
Easy access to the Duoma without the lines. 30 minutes is plenty of time in there. Some history is first given outside.
