Best Things to Do in Duomo (2026): Worth Leaving the House For

Duomo is good for a dome to climb, a bell tower and gelato with a view, and the things to do people save most are Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Caffè Gilli and Biblioteca delle Oblate. Ranked from 14 places we track here, creator picks first.

Updated · 14 places we track in Duomo, all first recorded in March 2026

You can climb the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or Giotto's Bell Tower, and the Baptistery next door has the bronze doors. Caffè Gilli and Caffè Concerto Paszkowski keep the old cafe tradition going, Badiani does a pistachio gelato locals rate, and Regina Bistecca is the steak stop. View on Art and Oblate Cafeteria put the dome in your drink. The square itself is the sight, so eat a street away from it.
