Embark on a journey to unravel the ingenious engineering solutions behind the Brunelleschi Dome, which remain revolutionary even by today’s standards. Delve into the treasures housed within Florence Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and marvel at the Dome of Brunelleschi. Here, you'll encounter one of Italy's most exquisite stained-glass windows and an array of Renaissance masterpieces.

The climb to the top of the Dome is worth it, and the Duomo is also impressive. Unfortunately the access to both was not a good experience! You are handed your ticket by a representative outside the Dome entrance point - we were handed tickets that were incorrectly printed, so after queuing for 10 minutes, then being refused entrance by the guard, we had to find the rep, who had to organise for the tickets to be reprinted. This happened within 10 minutes, however by now our time at the top of the Dome was dramatically reduced - not good. We then had to join another queue to gain entrance to the Duomo - a further 30 minutes wait in the hot sunshine! I wouldn’t recommend this option - maybe pay for an actual guide!
The climb was just very claustrophobic and just seemed like a lot of waiting once we got to the top considering no one was up there, I think if it was organised to allowing people to come and go a little easier I think it would have been a nicer experience. The view was amazing and was the only thing worth it for this excursion. The online audio guide was good and informative. Definitely worth having more air conditioning around waiting areas.
Very easy process collecting the tickets from the guide, experience is exactly as described. The Dome Climb is hard work, especially in the heat so definitely recommend doing this as early in the day as possible.
a long climb. But it was worth it. Beautiful view from the top of the church.
The dome is very beautiful and it's good to climb up the enormous staircase, but be careful because the church closes at around 3:00 p.m., so if you're only going for a few days or just one day, be careful.
Wonderful experience! I recommend it, but if you have claustrophobia or knee problems, it's best not to go.
