Florence: Brunelleschi's Dome Guided Tour

Visit the Florence Duomo and enjoy priority access to the iconic Cupola on this 1-hour guided tour. Once you’ve met your guide, the group will head straight for the Duomo Cupola. The climb to the Cupola and the unparalleled views of the city from the top are the highlights of this experience. Built by Filippo Brunelleschi, this red dome was the largest in the world in its time and soon became a symbol of Florence. This trip to the top of the Duomo includes a 463-step climb to the top. On your way up, you will also get to marvel at the stunning Duomo interiors, including a chance to see Vasari's Last Judgment up close.

The Duomo sits on the site of the 7th-century Church of Santa Reparata. This vast Gothic structure showcases the best of 13th and 15th-century architecture and took over 150 years to complete. A statue of each of the architects, Arnolfo di Cambio, and Filippo Brunelleschi, can be found right outside the cathedral in admiration of their work.
