While in Rome we climbed to the top of St. Peter's Basilica and today we went to the top of the Duomo in Florence. Both views were spectacular but I found the top of the Duomo more impressive. Despite the arduous climb I'd highly recommend going up to the top. The landscape and view of the mountains was incredible. Even though St. Peter's was a longer climb (551 steps), the Duomo's climb (463 steps) was tougher. The final piece is very steep and the majority of the hike was in cramped spiral staircases. Several important tips for the Duomo...
1. Train. (Not applicable to those who actually work out)
2. Don't forget your camera (like I obviously did)
3. Do not go out the night before (makes it a lot harder and doesn't help with the whole getting dizzy thing)
