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.

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.
Lot of Confusion in beginning but turned out great

4.00Signed up for this because title said "Climb the Dome" but then the day before got a message saying actual admission to climb the dome would be another €109. The operator must have gotten a lot of blowback because he then included the dome climb which was a great experience. Seeing the Babistry and the Duomo Museum were well worthwhile. However, the title and description need to be a lot clearer.
