Florence is one of my absolute favorite cities. I took this picture at dawn in the wonderful Piazza del Duomo on a December morning.

#europetrip The Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore is absolutely incredible! The first time I saw it, I was literally blown away by its beauty. One of the most beautiful and imposing cathedrals I have ever seen. The facade adorned with colorful marble, the intricate details of sculptures and reliefs. The iconic Dome towering over the city's skyline, it's just impressive and stunning. The interior is equally impressive, with its vast spaces, magnificent frescoes, and serene spiritual atmosphere. It's truly a must-see for anyone visiting Florence, and it's definitely recommend to visit. Free to enter just need to wait in queue, to see basement ticket needed.

Florence in Xu Zhimo's pen, the heat of love; Florence in 'The Da Vinci Code', full of suspense. Which one is you, pack your bags, let's explore it ourselves~ Santa Maria del Fiore is a legendary building. The church was founded in 1296 and consecrated in 1436. Its most eye-catching orange dome, the exterior is made of white, green, and pink marble, and there are many statues, soft and harmonious, without the oppression of Gothic. It also witnessed the glory of the Renaissance. You can see the whole view of Florence from Michelangelo Square (Picture 1 above), and you can overlook the dome at close range from the bell tower (Picture 1 below). In front of the church is a golden door, the door of heaven, with reliefs of stories from the Old Testament of the Bible, the original works are preserved in the museum. (Picture 6) It's a pity that I didn't go to the museum. Florence, Italy, I will come again, meet you again along Dan Brown's route. 📝Note tips: Try to buy tickets online; pay attention to the valuables you carry.

When in Florence, you must visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore⛪️! Here you can find the world's largest dome🏵 and the huge ceiling painting 'The Last Judgment'🎨, beautiful from any angle~ ｜Ticket options: ➀ Brunelleschi Pass 🎫30 euros (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore + crypt + dome + bell tower + baptistery + museum) ➁ Giotto Pass 🎫20 euros (without dome) ➂ Ghiberti Pass 🎫15 euros (without dome and bell tower) 🟢 There are several types of tickets for the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, you can buy according to your needs! It's best to choose between the dome and the lighthouse, otherwise the nearly 40 floors of exercise can easily exhaust you~ 🟢 The ticket is valid for three days, but it's for one entry, not unlimited entries for three days, you can choose the time slot according to your own pace. 🟢 Personally, I don't think the baptistery and the crypt are that interesting, but the museum is quite good, there is a Chinese guide, you can spend more than two hours listening to the explanation and walk through it. (ps: free toilets are available throughout the museum, which is great) 🟢 If you only want to visit the 'Last Judgment' in the dome of the cathedral, you can enter from the free queue entrance next to the bell tower, but you must queue up as early as possible, there are many! Many people in line! And, it may close after 4 pm.

The ten most romantic countries in the world, you must go and see. ❤①Italy The beauty of Italy is ancient, passionate, fanatical, and more romantic. It's you exploring Audrey Hepburn's footsteps in the Spanish Square in Roman Holiday, it's you gazing at your lover in the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, it's you pushing a gondola into the small streets and alleys in the water city of Venice. It's you stepping on Sicily to see the most romantic sunset. ❤②France If Paris is a flowing feast, then France is permanent romance. Follow the footsteps of purple water chestnut and cloud sail into Paris, into Provence, into the lavender fields, into the ancient castles full of stories, and also into the arms of your own lover. ❤③Indonesia Bali Bali is known as the island of the gods, a place blessed by heaven, a land full of love, natural and pure beauty, unique Hindu culture. Pursue the freedom and romance of the soul to Bali. ❤④Turkey Turkey, like a wild horse, ran from Asia and crashed into the European continent. When the hot air balloon in Cappadocia rises, I think: I wish you and I can wander in this world with the most humble luggage and the richest self. ❤⑤Slovenia The only country with 'love' in its name, love is romantic because of companionship. And my love is hidden in every moment. ❤⑥Iceland To love at the end of the world is the most beautiful praise for Iceland. I don't have a big wish, my only wish is to go to the end of the world with you. Some people say that the end of the world is loneliness, but it is this loneliness that needs to be loved. Loneliness itself is also a kind of romance. ❤⑦Greece The sunset of Santorini is an indelible romance in life. Love you before sunset, pour all the blue and white in the world, searching for all the sadness and joy in the world. Freeze love in front of your eyes. ❤⑧Maldives At the time you like, in the way you like, do what you like the most.

I think the mountains and seas are a particularly romantic word, without boundaries, without constraints, both the destination and the home. ❤⑩China The romance of China is hidden in the longing of 'The so-called Yi people, on the other side of the water' in the Book of Songs, also hidden in the persistence of 'I see all beings are grass and wood, only seeing you is the green mountain', and more hidden in the prayer of 'How can the world get the best of both worlds, not betray the Tathagata, not betray you'. The romance of the Chinese lies in the fact that every sentence does not mention I love you, but every sentence is I love you. Life is only a few decades Why be tripped up by trivial matters In the limited life Be braver Love the person you want to love, do what you like Life is meaningful 💕I am three years old who loves to travel💕 Like to follow me

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, as one of the five major cathedrals in the world, is located in the historical center of Florence, Italy. This magnificent architectural complex includes the cathedral, bell tower and baptistery, and was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The cathedral is decorated with white, red, and green granite on its exterior, perfectly reflecting the Renaissance pursuit of classicism, elegance, and freedom. The original site was once the 4th-century Church of Saint Reparata, until 1296, when the new church was funded by Cosimo di Giovanni de' Medici of the Medici family, and the construction took 175 years to complete. The cathedral dome designed by Brunelleschi, modeled after the Pantheon in Rome, is a classic example of the combination of classical art and science at the time. Even the Pope praised it as a 'mythical creation', and a musician even composed a concerto for it. Michelangelo, when designing the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, also imitated this dome and lamented that he could not surpass its beauty. It is worth noting that Brunelleschi did not use sketches and calculation data during the construction process, as if he had a complete concept in his mind. Brunelleschi rests in the basement of the church, and his statue stands in the church square, guiding people to appreciate the dome he is proud of. The interior of the church is equally breathtaking, with Vasari's dome painting 'The Last Judgment' and the mural 'Dante and The Divine Comedy' commemorating the 200th anniversary of Dante's birth, among other works. Visitors can climb the 463 steps on the north side to the dome for a view of the old city of Florence.
