There are two Meridian lines (Gnomons) in this church to mark the days of the year. This lead to the new Gregorian Calendar in 1582. The Gnomon in the big church, Santa Maria del Fiore, is not open to the public.
The church is hallowed ground. Inspiring sanctuary. Sit in the pews & drinkit all in! The Uffizi museum was the true highlight of this trip with gorgeous works by daVinci, Rafael & incredible hellenistic statuary.
If you are attending Mass on Sunday's, the entrance is on the side closest to the bell tower entrance. And ladies need to cover shoulders and chest with scarf or wrap, otherwise you will be turned away. I had to buy one at the street vendor for 15€.
When you buy your ticket to visit the this cathedral. Do it in advance so you can make a reservation to go up into the dome. The bell tower is great and you don't need a reservation for that, but the dome is incredible.
We saved the best church for last! Definitely worth the price of admission. Be sure you see everything. It's much more that just the church proper. Also close by is Officiana Profumo, Via della Scana 16, a 400+ year old store offering essences, pomades, spirts, balms, waters, liqueurs and other preparations (a real gal paradise).
The tickets you buy (better online for avoiding queues) permits you visiting several attractions about Duomo in 48 hours (The cathedral itself, the trip up to the Cupola of Brunelleschi, the trip up to the Campanile, the Baptisterio and the Cathedral Museum).
“Perfect location right at the Santa Maria Novella train station. Easy to get around. Great breakfast. Boutique hotel with very friendly staff”
“The room was extremely comfortable and roomy. Due to construction on the street, the street did not look the best, but the room is a comfortable distance from the Santa Maria Novella train station (about 8 minutes) and was quite secure (I was travelling with a girl friend). Great value and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Well worth the price considering public transport in Florence is not the best for visiting the sites in general.”
“I was pleasantly surprised by how comfy the bed was, some sort of memory foam. The location is great, right next the Santa Maria Novella and the large piazza in front of it. Within walking distance of the most of Florence's main sights.”
“Breakfast and dinner included, lots of showers, showers were clean even in the evening. Lockers were big so there weren’t any big bags in the room. The eating area was a great way to meet other hostel stayers, we went on the morning walking tour from piazza Santa Maria novella. Staff always around to answer questions. Amazing free hot chocolate from the drinks machine.”
“The apartment was spacious, and the location was excellent. Just a 10 minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station. Everything else was pretty much walking distance from the apartment.”
