    Incredible view, definitely worth the climb. The different platforms are super nice as well and all offer a spectacular view. Perfectly doable after climbing the Duomo as long as you take a break.
    Would recommend buying a Brunelleschi pass instead of a seperate ticket for the tower.
    Would not recommend if you’re very claustrophobic or if you have movility issues.

    This is a fantastic looking tower, located in Piazza della Signora.
    While the views from the towers are lovely, it's best appreciated from below.

    Very cool and old watchtower from the Roman Empire. Very nice to see how it has survived and kept outside the historic center.

    Our walking tour guide brought us past here to explain Florentine history from the 12th Century - very impressive.

    The Marsili family, one of the oldest in the city, built this tower in the 11th or 12th century. In the 1800’s a goldsmith, who added the distinctive terracotta additions to the façade (2 saints flanking the Annunciation, which is above the door), bought it

    A long climb to the top but worth the view when you get there. There are a number of platforms to view as you climb. I paid an entry fee of 15 Euro at the booth inside the base of the tower.

    Incredibly unprofessional: the venue is SO great, the menu looks good, the service is underwhelming to say the least - probably, understaffed and certainly, without basic training.

    We ordered 1 starter, 2 main courses - first main was served, 1/2 hour later the starter. Second main never arrived at the table, was however on the bill. The waiter was not surprised, didn’t offer any appologies, but did provide a new and correct bill. Thanks for that!

    If in the surroundings, check out Torrino de Santa Rosa, reflect on its great potential, but don’t order.
