So if you…read moredon't like to stay in the line, then i'd suggest to come as early as possible then the chances of finding the line to be short will be higher. The number of stairs going up can be a lot and the workout of going up and down can be quite intensive. If you are faint on heart, then you may have to take proper precautions and bring drinks to stay hydrated. They don't allow backpacks into the Duomo, so you may have to leave it to the backpack check in location. The view is majestic and the architecture is full of details and its surprising that it was done centuries ago... Definitely worth coming to this place!

When i arrived in italy, i was really panicked at the prices of a doctor visit, but then i found this place where prices are reasonable and more in line with what i am used to - around 45 euros for a specialist. Go to their amazing website where you can book in one instant with any specialist (any!) so you do not even need to call. You receive the info by email and hop, off you can go. You can even access the CV of doctors online if you are looking for a very specialized specialist. it really is a modern institution. Doctors i saw seem very good (how would i know for sure, you will tell me) and are more or less on time. You will have a number and you wait to see yours called on the board. Very efficient! Most of doctors i saw spoke English. The problem is that after you will need to go to a pharmacy and pay a fortune - i do not understand how medicines can be so expensive. Anyway, Misericordia at least helped you with the price of doctors.

After a very short wait, the doctor greeted all of us and gave our son a basic exam in his office. He was very kind and very good with children. He prescribed a steroid, a six day antibiotic treatment and a herbal cough syrup that we picked up immediately at a pharmacy near the duomo for under €30. The office visit cost us €60 and they accepted credit cards. This was a very pleasant experience! Cheers to Dr. Smorlesi and his staff. Grazie!

By the time we arrived in Florence, I could not leave my Hotel (Orto de Medici) due to the pain. The hotel (10/10) contacted this service and Dr Smorlesi arrived quickly at my hotel room. He asked pertinent questions and (without imaging) assessed cervical spine issues. He wrote appropriate prescriptions and gave me a shot of cortisone in my hip. This rescued me! I had been very anxious about flying back to Seattle in so much discomfort but was able to do so comfortably. Dr Smorlesi was professional, respectful and approachable. His fee was more than reasonable at €180. This experience will be remembered as much as seeing The David!
