Part 3/8:
Fueled by a sumptuous breakfast, we embark on our first major sightseeing adventure: the Florence Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. We climb the 463 steps to reach the top of the dome, a feat that tests our stamina but rewards us with spectacular views of the city. The dome, a marvel of engineering, took nearly 120 years to complete due to the challenges of its size and structure.
