See Florence in a way that most people never will
This Duomo will take you as close to heaven as you can get. The staircase climb, through narrow and open-air corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries, rewards those who complete it with incomparable views of the city from the cathedral rooftop. Some may wonder, how many steps up the Duomo of Florence? There are 153 to the terraces and another 310 to the top of Brunelleschi’s Dome. But it’s worth it to see the city from almost 100 metres up!
