Experience the thrill of ascending the highest building in Florence with the guidance of an expert official tourist guide. Climb the 463-step staircase of the Florence Cathedral Dome, following the same path used by Filippo Brunelleschi during the Renaissance. As you navigate narrow passages and historic stairways, feel transported back in time while marveling at the architectural genius that created this iconic masterpiece. Reaching the top offers an unforgettable panoramic view of Florence, allowing you to appreciate the city from a breathtaking perspective.
Discover the innovative techniques Brunelleschi used to construct the Dome, and explore the tools preserved in the Museum of Opera del Duomo. Learn how many of these instruments, invented to speed up construction, are still in use today. From a close-up view of the intricate frescoes adorning the interior to the historic machinery that made the dome possible, this tour offers a unique blend of history, art, and engineering. Comfortable clothing and shoes are recommended to make the climb enjoyable, while children under five are advised not to participate due to the demanding ascent.
