Description
See the entire city from a single point by climbing to the top of Florence's Dome. Join a
guided tour with local expert guides to discover the structure's full history.
Itinerary
The exterior view of the Cupola is a showstopper, but the only way to see the inside of
the dome up close and enjoy the extraordinary view of Florence is to climb its 463
steps. Discover how the Cupola was designed and built by Brunelleschi in 1418.
Find out why the corridors are so narrow and admire Giorgio Vasari's frescoes of the
Last Judgement (1572-9) on your way up.
Look down and on the base, just above the drum, see the balcony started, but never
finished, in 1507. Hear about the fascinating story of the balcony and the unfinished
eighth side from your guide.
Once you climb to the top of the Cupola, you will be enchanted by the panoramic view
of Florence in front of your eyes. Listen to the history and art of this Duomo Square and
answer any of your questions regarding Duomo.
