Duomo Cathedral Fast Track Tour & optional Brunelleschi's Dome
Overview
Experience the magnificent Duomo of Florence and make the most of your visit with skip-the-line entry. Listen in your own language and enjoy a 30-minute guided tour in English – all while you admire one of the largest cathedrals in the world.
Start by meeting your guide at Piazza del Duomo. From there, you’ll head over to the Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and showcase of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, sculptures and art. The iconic facade was delicately crafted with multiple colours of marble and arranged in geometric patterns.
As you gaze up at Brunelleschi’s dome, hear stories about this marvel of architecture, and take snaps of the famous fresco painting, The Last Judgement (Vasari and Zuccari).
Afterwards, enjoy an independent visit to the Museum of the Misericordia and uncover the history of Florence during the Black Plague and more.
