Entry to the nave is free but the hours are short (10:15–15:45, closed Sundays): walk round the outside first, then go in.Brunelleschi's Dome climbPiazza del Duomo · 463 steps between the two shells of the dome, past the Last Judgement frescoes, to the lantern terrace over the red roofs. Only with the Brunelleschi Pass and a time slot booked in advance (it cannot be changed); take an early slot.Giotto's Bell TowerPiazza del Duomo · 414 steps up the marble bell tower beside the cathedral, with the dome itself in the view from the top. The climb for those who could not get a dome slot, or who want the dome in the picture. The tower is under restoration and part of the view is reduced.
