The Crypt of Santa Reparata, Paolo Uccello's clock, Vasari's frescoes and Bandinelli's marble choir are just a few examples of what you'll observe on this comprehensive tour of the Florence Cathedral. Get ready for one of the most amazing journeys into the world of Christianity. And that's not all: now comes the most spectacular part of this tour. It's time to reach the top of the building and enjoy a view you won't forget.
Enjoy the city from a unique perspective
Don't be frightened by the climb; what awaits you will reward you of the effort. In fact, the dome will take you as close to heaven as possible. Climbing the stairs, through narrow, open-air corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries, will allow you to first reach the panoramic terraces and then the top of Brunelleschi's dome. You will admire from there an incomparable view of the city. Some of you may be wondering: how many steps are there in Florence Cathedral? They are 153 for the terraces and another 310 for the top of Brunelleschi's Dome. But trust our experience: it's worth it to see the city from almost 100 meters high!
