About this tour
Your 3-day ticket to Florence's Duomo Complex grants access to Brunelleschi's iconic dome, Giotto's bell tower, the cathedral, crypt, and museum. Climb 463 steps inside the dome for sweeping city views, then explore the cathedral's interior frescoes by Vasari and Zuccari. Two bespoke AudioApps—one for the dome, one for the cathedral—guide you through the complex's history and artistry, updated by an art historian. Staff in yellow vests offer on-site support.

What to expect
You'll collect your reserved tickets at a designated meeting point after receiving WhatsApp details the day prior. The dome ascent is steep and narrow—bring a charged phone and earphones for the AudioApp commentary. Inside the cathedral, expect modest dress enforcement (covered knees and shoulders). The complex spans multiple buildings, so budget time for each. Note: the Baptistery's vault mosaics are currently under restoration and not viewable. The Opera Museum closes the first Tuesday of each month.
Good to know
The 3-day pass begins when you schedule your dome visit. Backpacks and large bags aren't permitted but free storage is available. Avoid this experience if you have claustrophobia, respiratory issues, spinal injuries, or cardiovascular concerns. Public transport is nearby. Download the AudioApps beforehand and ensure your phone is fully charged.
