Climbing the Duomo + Boboli Gardens

With one last thing to do on our Italy checklist we headed to Florence to climb the Duomo. 414 stairs later we arrived at the top to an amazing view over the city. Going down the stairs was a bit dizzying at times with the tight spiral staircases. The Duomo is composed of two separate shells so you have to walk on a small pathway inside the Duomo looking down at the interior to get to the next portion. A little scary if you think too much about how high you are. Afterwards we visited the Boboli Gardens, also in Florence.
