463 steps, narrow spiral stairs, tunnels that gradually become steeper and narrower: it’s a ‘challenge’ you can win and your efforts will be fully rewarded.
You will be stunned by an incredible view of the beautiful city of Florence, you can watch closely at the magnificent frescoes of ‘The Last Judgement‘ by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and enjoy a unique view on the inside of the Dome from 50 meters high, in the first inner ring.
You can’t miss it!
Ilaria, these are beautiful pictures of Florence, one of my very favourite cities. Had to share on Google+
Thanks Paul! Florence is amazing
Wow! you have shown some beautiful sights through your lens. Nice pictures
Thank you Tuhin!
Fabulous pictures! I’ve seen the beauty live and in person…this brought back great memories!
Great Jaquie! I’m glad you had the chance to see it
I climbed the duomo many years ago before the glass railing was in place. The view is spectacular as it is Piazza Michelangelo across the river. Such a gorgeous city.
It’s an incredible view Tim! A nice throwback for you I think
Breathtaking cannot even describe some of those pictures.
Thanks William!
Forence is beautiful – but then I have a soft spot for Italy. I did find it a little overwhelming with tourists, but there were so many incredible things to see. I enjoyed going up to the top of thee Boboli Gardens to Fortesse Belvedere too which is not only interesting itself , but has a stunning view of the city. And was quiet!
I had your same feeling last time I went to Florence – a couple of months ago – a little bit overwhelmed by lots of people. Florence is always full of tourists! Good choice finding your peaceful view from Fortesse Belvedere
The view is amazing!! I’ve been to Florence, but am way too afraid of heights to climb to the top! Good for you. That’s my favorite city in the world.
It’s one of my favourite cities too, I love it!
I love views of old cities from up high. Going to the highest point and looking out is something I so often do when traveling, but don’t think to do at home. I think I’ll seek out a nice, high place to look at my city soon.
It’s the same for me! Every time I visit a city I’m attracted by views from the top, it’s a privileged perspective. As you can see in my post about Turin, there’s a great view from Mole Antonelliana building.
Beautiful Shots! Makes me want to book a trip there.
Thank you Sarah!
This brought back my one visit to Florence so far. Your pictures are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Beth! We are lucky to have seen such a beauty!
Haven’t been to Italy yet, but want to go. Looks lovely! Thanks for sharing your photos.
Thank you very much Laurie!
The pictures were breath-taking. As I was looking at the pictures – can you call them that? – of the inside of the dome I wondered how many years that had been in the making. You are so fortunate to have access to these beauties. Thank you for sharing.
Lenie
Thanks Lenie. Yes, I feel lucky in having these beauties so right at hand! If I remember well, it tooks 16 years to build the cupola. Don’t know how much time to realize the frescoes. They have some incredible bright colours!
Those are stunning pictures.
Thank you J!
Your pictures of Florence are beautiful. Florence is one of my favorite cities, as I love the architecture and the location. Brought back fond memeories
Florence is awesome! It’s also one of most the important Italian cities for the number of tourists going there every single day of the week.
This is Jay
Your pictures are absolutely beautiful. I showed then to my wife and now Florence is on our to do trip last
Thanks Jay! It’s highly recommended
Beautiful. Did you get a chance to rest on the way up and down or do you have to keep moving because of a steady stream of people behind you?
Hi Donna, the day I went there I had the chance to spend there the time I wanted. Maybe because it was a very cold day, although it doesn’t seem from my pictures.
Such beauty Llaria. Thanks for the lovely photos.
Thanks Welli!
it is beautiful and you took amazing pictures! I want to go here someday. A girl can dream. =)
Never say never Crystal
Fantastic photos. I’ve yet to make it to Italy, but I’m sure I will one of these days.
Thank you Jeri
What beautiful photography. It seems as if I was right there walking those over 400 steps….. Phew.
Thanks Susan! it’s well worth the effort
