About this experience

Ascend to the summit of one of Florence's most iconic landmarks – Brunelleschi’s Dome of Florence Cathedral. This monumental dome not only captivates with its grandeur and scale but also with its remarkable construction, overcoming significant architectural challenges of its time.
Engineered by the ingenious Filippo Brunelleschi, the construction of Florence Cathedral’s Dome spanned approximately 15 years. Upon its completion, it surpassed even the ancient Pantheon in size, establishing itself as the largest dome in Europe during that era.
After exploring the Dome, use your 3-day pass to skip the line and see the rest of the Florence Duomo Complex. Visit the Baptistery, Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Opera del Duomo Museum, and Giotto Bell Tower.

Detailed itinerary

Embark on a journey to unravel the ingenious engineering solutions behind the Brunelleschi Dome, which remain revolutionary even by today’s standards. Delve into the treasures housed within Florence Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and marvel at the Dome of Brunelleschi. Here, you'll encounter one of Italy's most exquisite stained-glass windows and an array of Renaissance masterpieces.

Stop 3

Enjoy entry to the Florence Duomo Complex and head straight to Giotto’s Bell Tower one of the most prominent representations of Florentine architecture. On the journey, the monument presents beautiful pieces of art from prominent architects. At the top of the tower, discover unparalleled panoramic views of the city

The Baptistery of St. John, standing in front of the cathedral, is the ancient religious and civil centre of Florence, as well as a masterpiece of Italian Romanesque architecture.
The monument we see today, consecrated in 1059 by Pope Niccolò II, is perhaps the result of an expansion of a primitive 4th century baptistery. Since the Middle Ages and until recently, it was instead believed that the structure had originated as a pagan temple dedicated to the god Mars, then in the Christian era converted to a church.
