Florence · Traveler’s guide
Piazza del Duomo
Piazza del Duomo is the beating heart of Florence, where Brunelleschi's dome and Giotto's bell tower draw millions to the cathedral steps each year.
About Piazza del Duomo
- Home to Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's bell tower, and the Baptistery
- Large bags and backpacks refused at the dome, cathedral, and museum
- No public lockers anywhere on the piazza
- Partner storage two to five minutes' walk along Via de' Cerretani

Piazza del Duomo is the monumental core of Florence, dominated by the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Brunelleschi's terracotta dome, Giotto's bell tower, and the Baptistery. Millions climb the dome and circle the square every year, and many arrive mid-transit — straight from the station or between hotels — with day bags and suitcases in tow. Security is strict: large bags and backpacks are turned away at the dome climb, the cathedral, and the museum, and there are no lockers on the piazza. That makes a nearby drop-off essential. Bounce and Radical partners sit two to five minutes' walk along Via de' Cerretani and Via del Proconsolo, holding luggage of any size by the hour or day so you can queue for the dome and wander the centre unencumbered.
