Florence Cathedral
Enter Florence’s landmark cathedral for the scale of its nave and Brunelleschi’s dome; the church interior and dome climb offer different views of this landmark.
Why go
The cathedral anchors Florence’s religious and architectural history in a single, legible stop. Its vast interior and the dome above reward a focused visit even without climbing; the exterior gives the square its defining silhouette. Visit times are limited by worship, so check the day before fitting it into a route.
What to look for
