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

14.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…”
