- Audio guide is nice. Worth to rent it at the entrance. But it has no hole for the headphones. - A lot of frescos inside. - Tombs of few famous guys including Michelangelo. Few tombs without actual remains because some people didn't want to be buried here. Fit example Dante is buried somewhere else. - Paid toilet! OMG! Such a crazy Italian tradition to charge people for the toilets. It's ridiculous. All other civilised countries stopped doing it but Italy. Enjoy the smell in the nearby alleys. - No cafe inside. - We spent an hour. But you can spend 2-3 hours if listen to the full audio guide and check out all the corners

Longish queue so better to get tickets online (plus 1 euro for online). Worth every euro. The church is packed with great art and important people's tombs (Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Rossini, Guglielmo Marconi).

The Basilica is the principal church of the Franciscan Order and is often called the Temple of the Italian Glories for being the resting place of many of Italy’s great figures. Designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, it was begun in 1294 and completed in 1442 in Gothic style. Highlights include Brunelleschi’s Pazzi Chapel, frescoes by Giotto and his followers, and the tombs and monuments of renowned Italians.
