No trip to Florence is complete without a visit to the city’s most imposing symbol, The Duomo and Brunelleschi’s fascinating cupola. On this tour, you will visit never before seen areas of the Duomo and get to admire the city of Florence from a VIP terrace situated 32 metres high.

The first part of the tour is dedicated to understanding how the massive structure was built by viewing replicas of the original tools. Next, your professional guide will lead you inside the church, skipping the line, to admire the frescoes by Vasari and Zuccari, all while telling you about the church’s unique history.

The next part of the tour provides the first of many breathtaking views. After climbing the narrow corridors to reach the Northern Terrace, your guide will accompany you to an exclusive terrace, closed to regular visitors. Standing on the terrace, you will quite literally be standing on the side of the Duomo with a magnificent view of Florence in front of you!

The tour will end a workroom where you can see the original statutes which stood along the front of the facade of the church. From here, you can use your ticket to climb to the top of the cupola admiring the frescoes as you climb. Arriving at the top, you will be standing on the top of the cupola and will be greeted with expansive 360 degree views of Florence.
