What travelers say:
It is more useful if you don't buy a bell tower ticket separately and buy a combined ticket. You can breathe while climbing the narrow stairs, but it is a wonderful experience to see Kuppola and Florence across the street.

Giotto's Bell Tower Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Giotto's Bell Tower is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It is located on the edge of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Opposite the bell tower is the octagonal baptistery. So from the front of the main church, it has a small street square composed of the baptistery and the bell tower. After visiting the cathedral, you can climb the Giotto Bell Tower. The bell tower is 85 meters high and has 414 steps. The exterior wall is covered with white marble, which is pure and elegant, bringing more momentum to the towering church. The clock tower is divided into 5 floors. The first floor is a closed structure without windows. The decorative panels on this floor are more exquisite. On the second floor, there are 4 small niche statues and 4 false niches carved on all sides. The third and fourth floors have two herringbone neo-Gothic windows on each side, and the fifth floor also has neo-Gothic spiral stone column windows. Since the stairs of the clock tower are narrow and there are many people climbing, it is recommended to consider your own physical strength and do what you can. But when you climb up the bell tower, you can see the streets of Florence's old town and the iconic red dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

The bell tower is the closest you can see the large dome designed by Berunensky, at a classic angle. The bell tower is not placed in one of the towers on the front facade, as in the general gothic church, but is presented separately.
The clock tower is mainly to climb to the top, and you can see the whole Florence. There is a fast past available to buy tickets online in the morning, so we use it here in the clock tower. There are 414 stairs, no elevator, all rely on legs to climb! ! The stairs are narrow and slanted, and every platform has to rest. My legs have been shaking. I thought I couldn't get down.
The Bell Tower is next to Notre Dame's Cathedral of Hundred Flowers. After visiting the Cathedral, it comes here directly. It's very difficult for people to take a complete picture in front of the bell tower. When I have the chance to choose a time when there aren't so many people coming, I will visit it well.
On the edge of the church is the 88-meter tower designed by Giotto, which overlooks the panoramic view of Florence. I picked up the stairs and went up. It didn’t look very high. It was still a bit hard to climb up. Only one person’s wide stairs were narrow and urgent. The people I met were very polite to let you pass first. Although everyone’s language is not available, I still know that I will give it to the other party. This feeling is really good. Climb to the top floor of the bell tower, overlooking Florence, the Basilica of the Virgin of the Hundred Flowers stands not far away, the red dome looks so outstanding, the sculptures of David and the sea god can be clearly seen below the tower, and the tourists who appear very small, the fall in the distance is gradually moving away, The silence on the high places is more the loneliness of the heroes
