The Experience

The reserved time slot is what gets you past the queue at Brunelleschi's Dome itself. You arrive at your assigned hour, receive on-site assistance at the entrance, and begin the climb with the audio guide narrating the story of Filippo Brunelleschi's revolutionary design as you ascend. Midway up, you pass close to Vasari's frescoes of the Last Judgment before reaching the summit for panoramic views across Florence and the surrounding hills.

The 3-day pass unlocks the rest of the Opera del Duomo complex on your own schedule. Climb Giotto's marble bell tower for another set of city views; step into the Baptistery to see its golden mosaic ceiling; descend beneath the cathedral floor to walk through the remains of Santa Reparata, the ancient church that stood on this site before the current cathedral was built; and visit the Opera del Duomo Museum to see original sculptures by Ghiberti, Michelangelo and Donatello. You can spread these across three calendar days or do them all in one afternoon. The pass is yours to use as you choose.

The audio guide is available in five languages and works throughout your visit. Public transportation stops nearby if you need it to reach the cathedral complex from your hotel.
