Highlights

Few landmarks define Florence like the Duomo. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore has dominated the city skyline for centuries, crowned by Brunelleschi’s extraordinary dome — one of the greatest engineering achievements of the Renaissance. This experience combines convenience with flexibility. Meet your host at the designated point and enter the cathedral at your reserved time without the stress of ticket collection or long entrance procedures. Once inside, explore independently with a mobile audio guide that brings the cathedral’s history, art, and architecture to life. Discover Brunelleschi’s revolutionary dome, admire Vasari’s famous Last Judgment frescoes, and uncover the history of the Crypt of Santa Reparata beneath the cathedral. Unlike traditional guided tours, you are free to explore at your own pace and spend more time where it interests you most.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
