Florence Duomo Guided Tour with Dome Climb

This guided tour is the perfect way to explore the heart of Florence’s historic centre in depth, combining art, history and the city’s finest panoramic views. For approximately 2 hours 30 minutes, you’ll follow an expert guide who’ll help you understand how the Duomo became one of the great symbols of the Italian Renaissance.

The tour begins in Piazza della Repubblica, where you’ll meet your guide. From there, you’ll walk together to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, where you’ll enter with your group for a guided tour of the cathedral, equipped with headphones so you can comfortably follow all the explanations.

Inside, you’ll discover unique features such as Paolo Uccello’s clock, Vasari’s frescoes, Bandinelli’s marble choir and the various architectural styles that reflect centuries of art and devotion. The guide will point out the most important features so you don’t miss a thing.

Your ticket also grants you access to Brunelleschi’s Dome and Giotto’s Bell Tower, where you’ll climb the historic staircases to enjoy spectacular views of Florence: the reddish rooftops, the River Arno, the Tuscan hills and the maze of medieval streets at your feet.

To round off the experience, the ticket includes 72-hour access to the Baptistery, the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo and Santa Reparata, which you can visit at your leisure, either before or after the guided tour, whichever suits you best. It’s the most convenient way to spend as much time as the Duomo complex deserves, without rushing.
