We learned so much about Michelangelo and about the Duomo. The climb was worth it for such a great view. Skip the line is so worth it. We so enjoyed ourselves.

The stairs up the dome was a killer workout the 360 view was amazing and a great time to catch your breath and then take the step back down. Should have t-shirt I did the dome at exit.
