2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Horrendous queues for everything. We didn’t bother fighting through the hordes and decided to give it a miss. Beautiful exterior though.

5/5 - Excellent

Pre book with guide .

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Always long queues to get in - although it's free to enter. Women must make sure that shoulders and legs are covered modestly - they don't do a check until you're actually at the door, which is really unhelpful, and you could get turned away after a hour or more queueing. Inside, the Cathedral is impressive but not spectacular, the churches of Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella are much more impressive.

4/5 - Good

You need to book the climb of the dome in of your trip - 3 day wait when we got there & we couldn't do it.

3/5 - Okay

The queues for the Duomo are insane - an hour and a half queuing and frankly the inside is rather a let down after you have visited some of the other churches. Except for the decoration on the dome itself, definitely more impressive on the outside than the inside!

3/5 - Okay

It was impossible to visit as the queues went all around the cathedral
