Florence Cathedral Tour + Dome & Terraces

At the designated time, we'll meet on Via Camillo Cavour, 18, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy in Florence and proceed towards Florence Cathedral.

Upon arrival, you will skip the queues and enter with your guide to learn about the building's history. The guide will explain the unusual construction process from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, highlighting the 150 years spent on its façade and Brunelleschi's Dome.

The tour includes viewing The Last Judgement by Vasari and Zucari, a significant fresco located on the dome's ceiling. Afterward, you will ascend a narrow, open-air corridor that has been closed to the public for centuries, leading to a secret room unlocked by a guard, offering a view of the Piazza del Duomo and surrounding areas.

Next, you'll visit the private "Circular Room" to see ancient statues from the Duomo's façade. Before descending, you can use your skip-the-line ticket to explore the Duomo's inner edge for a close-up of the Last Judgement frescoes or continue to the top of Brunelleschi's Dome for 360-degree views of Florence.
