Vertigo
Difficulty: HARD
Are you afraid of heights? Climb up the largest self-supporting dome ever built to experience a breathtaking lookout, a bird´s eye view of the city from the very top of its cathedral. Brunelleschi started building the dome in 1420 and finished only 14 years later. With In Love with Florence you will climb up the 464 steps concealed within its structure and will learn about the skillful building technology used for such a swift construction.
If you have any energy left, we may use it to visit the Town Hall tower (300 ft).
After burning all those calories we could end the tour with a sweet treat.
Guided tour 3 hours: Cathedral Square, Climb of the Dome, Climb the Town Hall Tower (optional)
Note: these are very strenuous climbs and only meant for the very fit. There are no elevators. Access to the Tower is suspended in the event of rain. No access for children under 6 years of age. Visitors with a disability, heart condition or asthma, or who suffer from vertigo or claustrophobia, are strongly advised against attempting the climb.
