Most catholic churches in Italy require a dress code in order to enter. For The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, you are requested to be covered from shoulders to knees (shoulders, chest, stomach and thighs must be all covered by clothing) It is permissible to wear shorts, provided that they are long enough to cover your thighs and knees. You are also permitted to wear tank tops or spaghetti strap dresses, but you will need to bring with you a garment (shawl, jacket, cardigan) that can cover all the exposed parts between your shoulders and knees when you enter the building. Thank you for your understanding and if please contact us if you require further clarification.

The tickets included with your tour are valid for one-time entrance to every site of the Opera del Duomo complex (Museum, Bell Tower, Baptistery, Crypt). As part of the tour, you will enter the museum, private terraces and climb to the top of the dome. These sites will not be accessible a second time with the ticket that we provide. So, for example: If you wish to visit the museum again after the tour, you will need to independently purchase a new ticket.

Please show your ticket to the personnel at each site and they will indicate the first time slot available for you.

    I enjoyed my tour with Steffy! She was easy to understand and had very interesting information. The tour allowed us to skip the line which was amazing after l seeing the long line waiting to enter. She gave a lot of history about the cathedral. Then at the top of the Duomo, she pointed out many of the major neighborhoods of Florence and gave suggestions for things to do.

  • Wow!! What a View

    The climb to the top is very steep and narrow. Stopped a couple of times to rest. Our tour guide Christina was excellent. Told us what to expect as we climbed. Loved all the Medici history she brought to light.
