Location- Basicaly in the centre of Florence you cant miss it. Very easy to get to by public transport but will probably be in walking distance from where ever you are in florence (10mins for central train station, 10/15 mins from main bus station.)
The visit - What to see, The cathedral, Dome , S. Reparata (archaeological site) , Giotto's bell tower ,Baptistery , Museum , Church of Saint Benedict, - i did not see all of these parts , i saw the dome, the Cathedral and Giottos bell tower but i am suer if you have the time its is all very much worth going to see. Be warned though it is not for the faint of heart to see the bell tower and the dome thers quite a few steps to climb but it is well worth it (you can see the whole of the city from the top)
OPENING TIMES AND COST- The cost was fairly inexpensive , it cost me 12 euros , for the bell tower and the Dome, with the Catherdral it self being Free entry , if you were to do all of the sites i could would probably be no more than 25 euros. I think most parts are open daily 8:30-7:30 apart from sundays wich they are closed.
My verdict - I went to florence for a weekend break last summer and seen most of the major attractions but by far "il duomo" was the most breath taking and amazing site i saw. It was funny because florence is so built up you can walk around the corner and it can become out of site , as we were following directions to the duomo. You can hardley see it intill it is right in front of you. Which i think made the impact even bigger. The beauty of the Duomo and sheer size almost brought a tear to my eye. It captures your mind as you slowly walk around it in awe. Definiately a must see for anyone going to visit Florence. You could stand there and look at it all day.
