About Brunelleschi’s Dome
The Cupola crowns Santa Maria del Fiore. A timed climb lets you walk the inner passages and reach the terrace near the lantern.
Combined passes include the Cathedral, Baptistery, Opera del Duomo Museum, and the Dome climb. Some add Giotto’s bell tower.
Guided tours bring the engineering to life — from herringbone brick to the double shell — and weave in the art of the complex.
Audio guides and tour commentary are offered in multiple languages.

What to expect at the Duomo complex
A day of stone, light, and views — here’s a calm, thoughtful plan:
Begin with the Dome climb during your timed slot: the inner corridors narrow and widen, the frescoes bloom above, and the city opens at the top. Take your time — steps tell the story as much as the skyline.
After the climb, pause in the Cathedral’s nave, then visit the Baptistery and the Opera del Duomo Museum, where original works invite a slower gaze before you step back into Florence.
