Visit Florence Duomo in the afternoon/early evening

Hi All,

We will arrive in Florence by train on June 6 around noon, and would like to climb the Duomo either in the afternoon or early evening. I understand it might be pretty hot in the afternoon, what will be the best choice among the following four entry times?

  • 4:40 pm
  • 5:15 pm
  • 6 pm
  • 6:45 pm (last entry)

If possible, we would like to stay away from the time slots when there is a large tour group. Does anyone have any experiences or suggestions?

Thank you!

The later you go, the less busy it’ll be. I would go at 6:00pm or 6:45pm. Tours are gone by then. Maybe 6pm is better so you can stay as long as you want.
