Middle of the city; climb it – all 366 steps; it sucks but it’s worth it; I recommend doing it at the end of the semester, when you know the city well; take pics

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

This simply wouldn’t be a guide to the Instagrammable places in Florence without including its most famous sight: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and its magnificent dome in particular. The Duomo is Florence’s most famous site. You’ll see it on all the postcards, t-shirts, and souvenirs, so it should definitely be appearing on your Instagram feed, too! How else to prove that you really did go to Florence? But in the midst of the photographic frenzy that you’re bound to embark on, take the time to appreciate the beauty of the building – the decoration of the outside walls really is amazing, and the fine details have to be seen to be appreciated.
