Florence: Skip-the-Line Duomo Guided Tour and Rooftop Dome

On this small group tour, your guide will take you to the top of the Duomo, the highest building in Florence, without having to wait in line. Before visiting the Dome, enjoy a guided tour inside the Museum (or Baptistry every first Tuesday of the month when the museum is closed) to discover the old facade of the Cathedral. Then skip the line inside the Cathedral, for a short guided tour inside the biggest church of Florence. After the visit to the Cathedral, follow in the footsteps of Brunelleschi as you ascend the ancient staircase he once used for inspirational views of the city. On the way up the 463-step staircase, you will feel as though you have gone back in time, winding through the narrow passages of this elegant and ancient building. The Duomo itself is notable for the 44 stained glass windows that adorn the interior.  This tour will give you the chance to discover Brunelleschi's techniques from a special point of view. You will be close to the Frescos decorating the inner Dome.
