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.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.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.
