Florence: Cathedral & Brunelleschi’s Dome Ticket & Audio App

3.Cathedral & Brunelleschi’s Dome Ticket & Audio App

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 6,973 reviews · 1 - 3 days · from $70

You get a timed climb of Brunelleschi’s Dome plus a 72-hour pass for Florence’s cathedral complex. An English-speaking host helps you find the Almond Door, while the mobile audio app covers the dome and cathedral in many languages. Expect 463 steps, tight stairways, a security check, and superb views over Florence.

“We booked the ticket giving us a 3 day pass to access the dome, cathedral, bell tower, baptistry and museum, well worth it I think. Of all those attractions the only free to enter is to the cathedral but you must join the queue which can snake around the cathedral, with the ticket you enter separately with minor queueing. The dome was by far the highlight, the 463 steps was arduous but the views inward from the base of the dome and outward from the top of the dome made it worth it, spectacular panoramic views of Florence and the Tuscany hills. The museum houses relics, statuses and models made…”

Milan Cathedral: Duomo Terraces Ticket (No Church Access)

4.Milan Cathedral: Duomo Terraces Ticket (No Church Access)

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,111 reviews · 1 day · from $22

Visit Milan Cathedral’s vast rooftop terraces with a prebooked ticket valid for one day. Choose 250 stairs or an elevator, then wander among white marble spires more than 46 meters above the street. The ticket covers the terraces only, though the exit route may offer a brief look inside the cathedral.

“You could spend hours inside and outside marveling the architecture of the Dome. So many hidden treasures, sculptures, angles. We attended the early 7am Sunday mass and that was such a powerful experience to be celebrating Christ the same way thousands of other humans over the years have celebrated - in the same way, at the same place, unifying our prayers throughout history, with the same goals of growing closer to God and His love. Be sure to walk through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping area next to the dome as well to marvel in the architecture and history. Other than that, we found Milan to be pricy and…”

7.Fast-Track Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,240 reviews · 1.5 - 2 hours · from $46

Explore Milan’s Duomo with a live Italian or English guide, using a separate entrance and fast-track access. The 1.5-hour visit covers the Gothic interior, archaeological area, and terraces by elevator, with extra time for the Duomo Museum and San Gottardo Church. Choose a private tour or small group, and look for guides such as Victor, Federica, or Ghida.

“This tour was great! Our guide Ghida (sorry if I got that wrong) was incredibly knowledgable and nice! Definitely see the terraces if you can. You take an elevator go the first level and there are a few steps after. I stopped at the first level (not crazy about heights) but my husband went to the top (over 200 steps from the first level to the second). All the steps are enclosed by walls, not open. We were able to use our tickets to go go the Duomo museum next door the day after, which I'd highly recommend!”

Enter Florence’s Duomo through the priority line, hear the cathedral’s story from an English-speaking guide, then choose the dome climb. The guided visit lasts about 30 minutes.

Your upgraded ticket also covers the Baptistery, bell tower, and Duomo Museum for 72 hours.

“Beautiful tour, our guide was knowledgeable and patient. She shared with us so many interesting historical facts that we would've never think to ask or look for on our own. Also, absolutely satisfied with getting this Duomo climb upgrade, it was such a unique experience! Some small advice for others considering this option (especially around October month): wear layered clothing! We really broke a sweat climbing to the top, even going on a slow pace, so make sure the clothes you're wearing are comfortable and layered in a smart way for removal. The ticket we got allowed us to visit the Bell Tower, Baptistry and Museum in the course of…”

Spend about three hours walking central Milan with an English-speaking guide, visiting the Duomo, Galleria, La Scala, Brera, and Sforza Castle before seeing Leonardo’s Last Supper with a reserved ticket. Guides such as Barbara, Simone, Lara, and Sara are praised for lively storytelling. Expect a small group, lots of walking, and no Duomo rooftop access.

“Sara was a fantastic guide who gave us lots of information all along our three hour walk around Milan. Definitely worth the price to experience Milan in a day. The 15 mins spent at the Last supper painting went by like a blur. Would 100% recommended if visiting Milan in a day”
