What To Expect
Cupola Del Brunelleschi
For centuries, the massive dome that sits atop the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was considered an architectural impossibility by most experts in the field. How could it be built? How would it stand up to its own weight? And how would they put a dome of such size on top of the cathedral's existing structure? But in 1420, Filippo Brunelleschi finally pulled off what was thought to be impossible when he finished his construction masterpiece, which continues to stand today as one of the most iconic structures in all of Italy and even all of Europe. From up there you can see all Florence with its wonders in a majestic panorama, it is really one of those unforgettable experiences! The first view from up there is just spectacular – we would say that everything you have ever seen from within Florence so far looks completely different from there!
Campanile di Giotto
Giotto's Campanile is a bell tower located in the heart of Florence, next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Built between 1334 and 1359, the campanile is renowned for its Gothic structure and decoration in white, green, and pink marble. A visit to Giotto's Campanile offers a breathtaking overview of the city of Florence. Visitors can climb the 414 steps to reach the top and enjoy a spectacular view of Florence and its iconic monuments, such as the Duomo and the Baptistry. During the ascent, it is also possible to admire the frescoes decorating the inner walls of the tower. A visit to Giotto's Campanile is an exciting experience for those who wish to delve into the history and architecture of the city and enjoy a unique perspective on its beauty.

3.00The walk up is very steep. If you are clostrophobic I would not recommend going. The views are amazing.
Cool Opportunity to Climb the Duomo, but the audio app would not work.

3.00Being able to climb the Duomo was awesome. The views were well worth all the stairs. The tower was also a cool climb, just be prepared for some narrow stairs that make it difficult for folks coming up and down. The crypt was not as interesting as we were hoping. Be prepared to put your bag in the bag storage area. My husband is disabled and they wouldn't even let him bring in his medical bag! They also recommended downloading the audio app before going, however they didn't send up the stuff to get the app and log in until after our time to enter the Duomo. Even with the login information, we couldn't get the app to let us log in and the help chat was not helpful getting logged in. Thus we were unable to get the audio app to work.

2.00The dome experience was fantastic, but this was a markup and could have bought the tickets directly and save money. The hosts just directed us to the line that was already formed, there was NO skip the line…

5.00Other than the timed duomo climb you are on your own time frame and no need to rush. You get to explore the piazza at your leisure.
Climbing is a challenge,...

5.00Climbing is a challenge, not for those who are claustrophobic or with fear of heights! The view at each level was incredible, culminating in the panoramic view of Firenze. Loved seeing the frescos up close as well.
