What to Expect

Above Florence, where stone, light, and vision meet

Climb Duomo Florence and learn about the city’s most iconic building with this incredible skywalk tour. Skip the line for a guided tour and climb to the top of the dome - don’t forget your camera!


Get access all areas to one of the world’s most incredible churches

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to discover Florence’s Duomo Cathedral, also known as Santa Maria del Fiore, and to see the city from an exclusive and breathtaking point of view. Your Florence Duomo tickets not only allow you to skip the line but to visit the Duomo terraces, which aren’t usually open to the public. Your guide will tell you everything you need to know about the cathedral and its place in the city’s history - as well as the art inside it.


Marvel at the art and architecture of the symbol of Florence

The Crypt of Santa Reparata, Paolo Uccello’s clock, Vasari’s frescoes and Badninelli’s marble choir are just a few of the masterpieces you’ll see in this comprehensive visit to Florence's cathedral and one of the most astonishing journeys in the world of Christianity. And if they don’t take your breath away, the next part of the tour surely will.


See Florence in a way that most people never will

This Duomo will take you as close to heaven as you can get. The staircase climb, through narrow and open-air corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries, rewards those who complete it with incomparable views of the city from the cathedral rooftop. Some may wonder, how many steps up the Duomo of Florence? There are 153 to the terraces and another 310 to the top of Brunelleschi’s Dome. But it’s worth it to see the city from almost 100 metres up!


For Spanish-speaking visitors, a remarkable experience awaits

For Spanish-speaking visitors, there’s an alternate itinerary designed to offer a distinct perspective. The Spanish-language tour includes a guided visit to the Duomo Museum, access to Florence’s Cathedral, and a climb to Brunelleschi’s Dome. While the terraces are not part of this option, the experience combines cultural insights and artistic highlights for a comprehensive journey through one of Florence’s most iconic landmarks. Each itinerary focuses on unique elements, ensuring a rewarding visit.
