What travelers are saying
- Cheryl KNovi, MI181 contributionsMake sure to buy your passes in advance with a timed entry to walk to the top of the Duomo. Spectacular views without fencing. The top of St. Marks basilica does not require a reservation but has fencing and is not as high. It’s not an easy climb for either but worth all the steps!
The inside of the church is not spectacular. The outside is stunning. If you buy the pass, do not get in the long line in front of the church but enter through the side door which also takes you to the basement which is also very interesting.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I'm used to climbing, so over 400 steps was nothing. The views are amazing, and it is definitely worth the effort.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christian MCopenhagen, Denmark6,176 contributionsMany people head to Piazzale Michelangelo to capture good shots of Florence from above, and the rather dull square is indeed suitable for that.
However, by walking a little further up the hill to Basilica San Miniato al Monte, the view of the city is even better. From there, you can include a few classic Tuscan cypress trees in your panoramic shots (see the attached image).
The fact that there’s also a picturesque church and an enchanting cemetery at your photo spot certainly doesn’t hurt, does it?Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However I think the building is better on the outside than the inside as it quite plain and there is restoration work taking place.
I bought a combined ticket for the Duomo, which included the Cupola which is the only timed ticket. The remaining places to visit which include the Bell Tower, Baptistry, Crypt and interior of the Duomo and the Museum Dell' Opera can be visited at anytime within three days.
I recommend that you choose the earliest timed ticket for the Cupola as it gets very busy and your entry is timed. Please read the small print and do not have any back packs as you will not be allowed entry and asked to store the back pack in another building. When visiting the Doom also no back packs and observe the dress codes for covering the shoulders and knees. I saw so many people turned away for this despite having queued for more than an hour, so be warned!!!
There is no lift to the outside of the dome and it's 460 steps up and the same amount down. You can see the dome interior on the ascent but there are perspex screens that discourage from taking pictures down into the cathedral.
Once at the top, you have the best views of Florence. I was the first person to the top so took wide angle shots then switched lenses for zoom images. By the time I had finished, the crowds began to increase, so I made my way back down to street level.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Eventually we came to this main square and the first thing that hit us was the 8 sided Baptistry of Saint John. To be honest, I thought that it looked rather artificial and I was genuinely wondering whether it had been draped in one great, ornate covering to hide building/restoration work just behind. But no, the white marble of this impressive building has been decorated just so. Incredible.
We didn't go into this building.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a very tall building despite being only three main storeys, although each was about as high as 4 storeys of our house. It has big gothic windows, arcaded ceilings and sculptures of saints on the outside. The ground floor is the church with a stunning floor to ceiling tabernacle housing a painting of the Madonna, all from the mid-14th century. Frescoes on the ceiling and some of the walls, and a marble statue of the Madonna and child sitting in St Anne’s lap. All stunning and more interesting than the inside of the Duomo. To get to the upper floors you cross the alley outside and go up the stairs in the building opposite. Four large flights take you to a bridge across to the main building. The bridge is open with good views, and the room above the church is the full floor of the building, light and airy with the original sculptures from the outside of the building. The views are good, but then you notice a modern sinuous stair winding up to the floor above. There is then another large light-filled room above with only a few small statues, but with huge windows above the level of the buildings on all sides. There are great views of the Duomo, the Palazzio Vecchio and even of the Palazzio Pitti. You have to be prepared to climb but the combination of the church and the views is unmissable, and hardly any of the people in the crowds passing bother to have a look.Written June 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- M V2 contributionsThis church is a hidden gem in Florence and admission is free. It’s easy to overlook this basilica because of its ordinary facade and the plainness of the piazza where it is located. The Baroque interior is simply spectacular, especially the temple, the numerous side chapels, the altar / Rotonda, and the ceiling throughout. My daughter, who was studying abroad, wants to get married here. We can’t wait to return to this truly special place.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarinaSorocaba, SP290 contributionsThe church is so beautiful, with so many outstanding paintings and chapels inside. It also has the tomb of Sandro Botticelli, Amerigo Vespucci and Caroline Bonaparte, the latter.Written April 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GAR970 contributionsI think this church is worth a visit especially for those interested in history, but it is less grand than most of Florence’s most famous buildingsWritten August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gary TTel Aviv, Israel226 contributionsBeautiful building inside and out.
The museums exhibits are simple but show Judaica and explain about the history of Florence Jews.Written May 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is ample opportunity to walk the corridors and view the Lippi frescoes while waiting. For some reason, despite thick crowds across the Arno, this place had no crowd, just respectful visitors. It was thrilling to have the time and space to not be rushed. How the frescoes have remained with coloring despite their outdoor location seems rather miraculous.Written October 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kmtrixiOshawa, Canada111 contributionsThis church was built by the Vallombrosan Monks. It has numerous beautiful chapel and wonderful art works.

- BradHong Kong, China175,926 contributionsSant' Apollonia is a 14th-century former Benedictine monastery located along Via Ventisette Aprile and just a couple minutes walk from Piazza San Marco.
Today, you will find a small museum here with some fine artwork and frescos including 'The Last Supper' a masterpiece by Andrea del Castagno (1447) along with other early Italian Renaissance artists. The Last Supper is remarkable and interestingly predates Da Vinci's last Supper in Milan by nearly 50 years.
Opening hours are 8.15pm to 1.50pm daily and entry is free. Definitely worth popping in for a quick visit if you plan to explore this area of the city centre and enjoy viewing fine artworks.Written April 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The church itself is not without interest. The baroque illusionistic ceiling is a wonder as are the wonderful side chapels. You can peek into the Brancacci from the church itself, but you really cannot see the frescoes well unless you book a ticket at the ticket booth for a separate entrance into the chapel. If you are going to the chapel itself, you would do well to catch the rest of the church.Written March 22, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Francois TJohannesburg, South Africa1,623 contributionsVery beautiful on the inside and outside. Great architecture and artifacts on display. Very reasonably priced and not overcrowded and busy like some of the other areas. Good restaurant options in the area as well.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
