Florence Skip-The-Line Duomo Tour with Guide & Rooftop Dome Walk
The Dome of Florence, or Cupola, is a must-see for anyone visiting the Renaissance city of Florence! Perched atop the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, this iconic architectural masterpiece has dominated Florence’s skyline since 1436. While its grandeur is visible from nearly anywhere in the city, the true highlight lies in the rooftop viewing deck, offering unbeatable panoramic views.
Join our 2.5 hour guided walking tour, start with learning the history and construction process of this magnificent building at the Cathedral’s Museum “Museo Opera del Duomo”, continue with our skip the lines to the cathedral, have a 15 minutes visit inside the church and conclude with the ascend to the dome’s peak, to bathe in the beauty of this special view over the city.
With skip-the-line access, a knowledgeable guide, and entry to the Cathedral Museum, you’ll enjoy a deep dive into Florence’s history and breathtaking vistas that stretch into the Tuscan countryside!
