The view at the top of the Dome is breathtaking and completely worth each of the 463 steps you have to take to get to the top! It was the largest masonry dome ever built and has an amazing fresco on the ceiling of the Last Judgment. Totally worth seeing while you are in Florence!
Getting to the top was quite interesting. We were glad we were one of the first groups up! There were a couple people who were struggling toward the end, but there was no elevator or other option than the stairs...so go in committed!

The views were AMAZING. You could see for miles...we didn't want to come down! On the way though you get an up-close view of the ceiling frescoes and it was almost as impressive!
Afterwards we loaded up our suitcases and headed to the train station...our final stop....Pisa!
