Is it free to climb Giotto's bell tower?
Is it free to climb Giotto's bell tower? You can see the Campanile for free at any time of day by taking a nice passeggiata (or stroll) around the piazza. Or, for 30 euros (about $33), you can take on the stairs and strive for magnificent views. Tickets grant you admission to all five monuments in Piazza Duomo, including the cupola climb.
Which tower is best to climb Florence?
If you're mostly interested in the views of the city, I'd recommend climbing Giotto's bell tower (get the BRUNELLESCHI OR GIOTTO PASS). You get amazing views of Florence AND the Duomo AND the Baptistry AND it's less crowded.
