Vip Duomo Tour useful information
A unique and brand new view of Florence: admire the overview of Florence from the 32 meter-tall terraces of the Duomo! Climb to the top of the Duomo and admire the breathtaking Brunelleschi Cupola, a masterpiece of art and architecture that it is still unequalled and whose techniques of building are still puzzle for today’s experts.
Avoid the line with our exclusive pass and follow our trained guides inside the grand mystery of this ancient Cathedral of Florence and its Crypt: be inspired by the incomparable frescoes by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, admire the enchanting, colossal clock made by Paolo Uccello and discover the marble pavement with its intricate pattern.
Continue your visit by climbing the Northern Terrace of the Cathedral Rooftop, a suggestive walk through narrow and open-air corridors that remained closed to the public for centuries. The panorama from this top will astonish you! This is an not to be missed chance of joining a limited tour among art and history, left alone hidden Duomo terraces: the most of the tourists (as well as many Florentines) do not even know that they were projected!
The guided tour will end in the exclusive rounded room (visible only with our tour!) where you will have the chance to see the original statues that once were placed in the façade of the Duomo. In the room you can find the restores working with their spatulas and chisels still grubby and smelling like stucco. The surprises for the visitor are not over: use your 48-hour ticket to explore the rest of the complex of the Duomo: the Great Museum of the Duomo, the Brunelleschi’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Giotto’s Bell Tower.
