Do not miss the chance to take a closer look at the incredible BRUNELLESCHI “CUPOLA”, a masterpiece of art and architecture that still remains unmatched and whose techniques of building are covered with a veil of mystery.
This tour is an unmissable opportunity to visit the top attraction of Florence, often fully booked due to its unparalleled beauty and allure.
Skip the line, and then follow our professional guides inside the immense wonder of the majestic Cathedral. With the knowledge and guidance of a professional, learn all about the unique and beautiful Last Judgement frescoes of Vasari and Zuccari.
Then, climb the Northern terrace of the Cathedral rooftop, an intriguing walk through narrow, open-air corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries. The panorama from above Piazza del Duomo will take your breath away! This elite tour of art and history will allow you to discover the hidden Duomo terraces, which the majority of tourists (as well as Florentines!) do not even know exist.
The guided tour will end in the exclusive circular room (accessible only with our tour!), where you will have the opportunity to see ancient statues which once stood in the façade of the Duomo. In this room, you can find the restorers at work with their spatulas and chisels still dirty and smelling of stucco.
The exciting surprises of your tour are not over yet… Use your ticket to reach the TOP OF THE CUPOLA admiring the stunning Last Judgement frescoes up close. Then, after another short climb, finally enjoy the stunning 360° views of Florence from the top of the city!
