Local tips
- If you are unsure about the distance, pick an e-bike: you enjoy the ride, not the climb.
- The Uffizi and the Accademia are closed on Mondays, so plan museum days from Tuesday to Sunday.
- The dome climb has 463 steps and requires a reserved time slot, which sells out days ahead in summer.
Combine it with: Uffizi Gallery, David at the Galleria dell'Accademia and Brunelleschi's dome climb.
