Climb the Dome, Own the View: Duomo Complex Tour Pass
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Skip the line and dive into Florence’s Duomo Complex—the heart of the Renaissance.
This small-group guided tour isn’t sightseeing. It’s fire.
The Baptistery blinds with Medici gold. The Museum unleashes Michelangelo’s fury. The Cathedral façade roars with Dante’s Florence. Every stop hits like a scene you thought you knew but never lived.
Then the choice:
⚡ Express — the teaser. Fast, sharp, shocking. Baptistery + Museum + façade. No filler. Adrenaline only.
⭐ Giotto Tower — the thriller. After the tour, the climb begins. Steps pound like war drums. Legs burn, lungs scream, Florence detonates beneath you.
‼️ Brunelleschi’s Dome — the finale. The forbidden climb. Reserved slot. 463 steps of sweat and obsession. And then—your moment at the top. Florence explodes 360° around you. More epic than any movie, more brutal than any test.
This isn’t sightseeing. This is survival. This is glory.
⚠️ Dome spots are brutally scarce. Once they’re gone—they’re gone.
Book now. Regret forever.

Duomo climb to the top

5.00Beautiful experience!!! I can’t remember our tour guide’s name, but she was excellent!! She was patient and took time to answer all of our questions! PLEASE NOTE—-walking to the top of the duomo is NOT for the faint of heart!!🤣. But so worth it to see the views! Also note, try and get to the front of the group (they take about 50 at a time), and once you get to the top, you have a limited amount of time you can spend up there (maybe 30 minutes). And, if your toward the back of the group, you will have less time because it takes a little longer to get to top because people stop while climbing (to catch their breath). And when you get almost to the top, you’re pretty much climbing vertically, like a ladder, and pulling yourself up. NOT EASY!! And VERY tight space, I’m 5’ 10” and had to duck a lot. Also, if you’re a bigger person, you might not fit. People were a lot smaller 300 years ago🤣. But, again….so worth it! Beautiful at the top!!
Wonderful views of Florence - not to be missed.

5.00A must do! We had an excellent, born and raised local with a ton of knowledge and history. She was very personable and easy going pace for the whole tour. Followed with the finale of the Duomo Climb with a full 360 city view. Well worth the physical efforts to get to the view points.
Very detailed tour!

5.00To be honest, I hadn't wanted to do a tour, and instead had tried to book a dome climb directly from the Duomo but they were sold out, so ended up doing this tour - I'm very glad to have done it this way. Michele is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about Florence, the Duomo and it's history. He's also quite funny, which is always a plus.

5.00Our tour guide Deborah was amazing. Very nice and friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke English very well. The baptistery, museum, and dome climb were unbelievable. The best view of the whole city is on top of the Dome.
Excellent!!

5.00Excellent tour including a climb to the top of the duomo. We had a great guide. We had the option to also climb the bell tower, but we were satisfied with just the climb to the top of the duomo
