Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo), Florence
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Early morning before 9am offers the shortest security lines and soft, flattering light on the facade. Late afternoon golden hour is gorgeous for photos, but expect more crowds then.
Budgettips
Entry to the main worship space is free, though security checks still apply; a timed combined ticket for the dome, bell tower, baptistery, and museum costs around €18-20 if bought online. Purchase a single combined pass or visit the exterior with a free walking tour to save money and avoid multiple separate tickets.

Over
Korte feiten: A vast brick dome crowns the skyline, with masons laying over four million bricks in a herringbone pattern to make it self-supporting. Colored marble stripes on the exterior and a richly frescoed interior draw both art lovers and casual passersby.
Hoogtepunten: Filippo Brunelleschi's double-shell dome spans about 42 meters and rises roughly 91 meters above the nave, an audacious engineering feat that used no external scaffolding. Climbing 463 narrow steps rewards you with a face-to-face view of Giorgio Vasari's Last Judgment, where life-size figures and vibrant pigments fill the curved vault.
Insidertips
- Dress modestly: shoulders and knees need to be covered to enter the main worship area.
- Book a timed ticket for the dome well in advance and arrive at least 15 minutes early to clear security.
- Expect 463 cramped steps to the lantern, many passages are narrow and steep, so wear sturdy shoes and carry light.
- For the best photos of the facade, stand on the square in front at golden hour or use nearby museum terraces for wide city views.
