There's no view like it from any structure in the city. With no elevator, the 463-step climb gives you an up-close look at the Duomo ceiling and the surrounding marble, sandstone, and brick. The trek is worth its weight in gold. It's quite a climb to the top, but you must get the view if you can.

A. Yes, photography is permitted inside the Duomo Florence. All photographs must be taken without the use of a flash.

Does the dress code apply to the climb as well? As long as you are wearing no shorts and no sleevless tops, you will be ok. Same applies to all religious sites. I see long shorts (to the knee) in the Duomo in Florence and other churches all the time nowadays.

A full ticket with Cathedral, Museum, Tower and Baptistery costs 15€. Totally worth to buy it and go first to the museum (if you come in the morning) because there you can see all the information about the dome which is really interesting.

MORE DETAILS

No, entrance is free! You do have to buy the single Grande Museo del Duomo pass to visit the other monuments in Piazza del Duomo (climb up the Dome and the bell tower, the Baptistery and the museum). For this reason, you'll at times find a long line to get in into the cathedral.

We just returned from two weeks in Italy including visits to churches in Venice, Florence and Rome. Many women wore sandals. As long as your knees and shoulders are covered, you should be good to go.

Sticking with a neutral color like a soft pink or cream will provide great flexibility for many outfits. A pair of d'Orsay flats work equally well with a well-cut pair of jeans, trousers or slim pants as they do with a midi skirt or spring dress. These are some popular shoes for Paris and Italy!

Avoid Beach Clothes Especially when you are visiting big cities like Florence or Rome, or locations not right on the shore, shorts, crop tops, short skirts and flip flops are definitely not the proper outfit for the day.
