Discover masterpieces such as Paolo Uccello’s clock, Vasari’s frescoes and Bandinelli’s marble choir. During the visit, you'll also access the Crypt of Santa Reparata, considered the very heart of the cathedral and a testimony of the dawn of Christianity in Florence. Then, begin your ascent to the Duomo's top. The staircase climb will be rewarded by an incomparable view of the city from the terraces on the cathedral rooftop. Learn how the massive self-standing cathedral dome was built and how it can still firmly dominate the skyline of Florence after 600 years. Investigate Brunelleschi's innovative approach in vaulting the dome space without any scaffolding, and deeply understand how he changed the rules of architecture forever.If you feel like continuing your climb, you can reach the top of Brunelleschi's Cupola (the Dome). Reach the 91-meter-high (300 ft) panoramic viewpoint in order to get the highest view from the building. This tour also includes autonomous access to the monuments of the Cathedral complex during the 72 hours following the tour.
