Great buy on Klook! Skip-the-line saved us hours. Stunning views of Florence from the top. Included access to Baptistery and museum for 3 days. Easy QR redemption, no issues. Perfect for a hassle-free visit—highly recommend!
You can just go and queue up with your QR code! The queue opens very punctually, and it moves quickly, but I recommend arriving a bit early to queue. The earlier you get in, the sooner you reach the top, and the more time you'll have for photos. This is because everyone in a group has the same amount of time, so those at the back will genuinely have less time for pictures. When I went, I was at the back, and they started clearing people out shortly after I reached the top, so I didn't have time to take many photos! However, the view from the top is absolutely stunning! It's definitely worth it! Climbing the stairs isn't as tiring as you might think. Don't be intimidated by the number of steps and miss out on the beautiful scenery from the top. Anyone with normal mobility can climb up successfully! On the day of your reservation, you can visit the other attractions included in your package. For example, I had a 3:00 PM reservation to climb the Dome, but I went to climb the Bell Tower at 8:30 AM that morning without a reservation. I just scanned my QR code and got in smoothly. The Bell Tower isn't difficult either; there are resting platforms every short distance, and there's no time limit, so you can climb and take photos at your leisure. However, the top of the Bell Tower has a wire mesh, so the photos aren't as beautiful as from the Dome.
First, be prepared for a challenging climb up the stairs, and make sure to bring plenty of water. Coming back down isn't easy either. I went up and down the dome and the adjacent structure right away, but the lines for the cathedral and museum were too long, so I just went back to my accommodation. I had a 9 AM reservation.
Climbing Brunelleschi's Dome is an absolute must when visiting Florence. The ascent takes you up close to Brunelleschi's ingenious herringbone brick construction, a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering that has stood for centuries without modern technology. Seeing this remarkable structure from the inside is just as impressive as the breathtaking panoramic views of Florence waiting at the top. An unforgettable experience that combines history, architecture, and spectacular scenery.
It's truly worth a visit if you're up for it, but do be reminded that climbing 464 steps in an almost claustrophobic stairway is not meant for everyone. The view from the top of the dome is a worthwhile experience. Along the way, you'll wonder to yourself what ingenuity it took for them to build this 6 centuries ago. The ticket includes also entry to Giotto's Bell Tower, Museum and Florence Cathedral.
When you come to Florence, how can you not see the Florence Cathedral? And not just go inside, but also climb to the top to get a glimpse of the entire beauty of Florence. Although the ticket Klook sells is more expensive than on the official website, for those who decide their itinerary at the last minute, there's simply no time to grab tickets on the official website. After all, climbing to the top requires a reserved time slot. However, it might be years before you get another chance to climb, so spending this money is worth it.
Experience: You need to climb more than 300 steps to reach the summit. You can view the murals on the top from a closer location midway. The scenery at the top is very beautiful.
It was even more impressive than I expected. Even in Florence's 104-degree heat, the overwhelming view is reason enough to visit Florence again. However, if I come back, I'd definitely try to visit around sunset; that would be even better. *Note*: You must enter on the hour and leave by 45 minutes past the hour.
