#summerbreak Fantastic view here just right across the most popular cathedral in the world. Florence gets extremely busy and full of tourist especially in summer time that you may only hear people speak in English due to the high volume of tourism. The whole tower it is secured upstairs, so pics can be taken but they will always have bar due to the high risk of falling. There are a lot of narrow steps to climb, so you may want to keep that in mind. Best time to go will be during the month of May, June or September, avoid July and August due to crowds and heat. Place to eat: Pochetta sandwiches is a must here! fresh delicious and daily specials are available 😃

Amazing building. Italy’s cathedrals never cease to impress me. Every time I go near it I am in awe of its beauty. I would recommend to buy a ticket to climb the tower. With the tower, you’ll still get the view of the Duomo, but perhaps without the day long queues. The morning time is much easier in terms of crowds than evening times. Even at midnight the crowd never stops. Definitely go here when you get the chance!#境外遊 #awesomepic

Florence is one of my absolute favorite cities. I took this picture at dawn in the wonderful Piazza del Duomo on a December morning.

#europetrip The Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore is absolutely incredible! The first time I saw it, I was literally blown away by its beauty. One of the most beautiful and imposing cathedrals I have ever seen. The facade adorned with colorful marble, the intricate details of sculptures and reliefs. The iconic Dome towering over the city's skyline, it's just impressive and stunning. The interior is equally impressive, with its vast spaces, magnificent frescoes, and serene spiritual atmosphere. It's truly a must-see for anyone visiting Florence, and it's definitely recommend to visit. Free to enter just need to wait in queue, to see basement ticket needed.
