Lots of steps. Narrow steps. My pal and are in pretty good shape middle aged types, but we took it easy and did not rush and it was fine to go up. The views are great, and there are several places you can stop and look on your way to the very top. We got some great photos of Florence.

The views from the bell tower are gorgeous and so worth the climb! It is a little narrow in the stairway, but we had no problem getting up and down and were very glad we did.

We didn't get to climb up the tower but still have to admit that it's amazing. I took lots of photo of the tower at different time and all look amazing. I wouldn't miss it next time I am in Florence! See my photos and please vote for me if you find this review helpful. Thank you very much.

Be ready to Climb! We went near the end of the day so it was cooler and there was not a line. I can not imagine climbing if we had to follow like cattle! We took our time and my daughters would race ahead and look down on me from above. There are spots along the way that you can... More
