Italy// Get yourself on the outside of some biscotti and a stiff coffee before ascending the 463 steps into the cupola that crowns Florence's magnificent Duomo. The going is steep, but how often do you find yourself nose-to-nose with Renaissance frescoes the calibre of Giorgio Vasari's Last Judgment? With each step, the marvel of Brunelleschi's octagonal dome unfolds, the stairway squeezing between an inner and outer dome. The reward of reaching the summit: an unforgettable 360-degree panorama of one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
