Straight-line distances: Baptistery of San Giovanni 63 m · Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore 76 m · Brunelleschi's Dome climb 76 m. Not travel times.
Why Aura
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.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del FiorePiazza del Duomo · The cathedral under Brunelleschi's dome, its marble skin in white, green and pink. 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.Baptistery of San GiovanniPiazza del Duomo · The octagonal baptistery opposite the cathedral; outside, the bronze doors (the originals are in the Opera museum). Inside the mosaic vault is under restoration and not visible, so decide whether the pass is worth it for you now.
