The queue was quite long, and you need to make sure you're in the correct line before you start queuing… Queues at tourist attractions in Europe often consist of several separate lines with unclear signage. I didn't choose to climb the bell tower or the dome, but the museum included in the ticket is worth a good look; personally, I felt the environment was quite nice.

such a lovely place, the duomo or cathedral is very big that I cannot take a picture of the whole cathedral. Even if I have seen it several times I always love to visit and see it again and again.

It's alright. If you've already visited all the other major Italian attractions, you can check it out. I don't really understand their religious beliefs or stories, but the scenery is quite nice, and you can see the city views.

This is 1 of the most famous landmarks. Definitely worth the visit. I went in April which is good time as it was not too busy and not too hot. Need to rebook to avoid long queues

There were no crowds, so there was no waiting either. It was a lovely experience, with a beautiful view from the castle and a café at the top.
