Description
Skip the lines and climb Brunelleschi’s Dome, explore secret terraces, and admire stunning frescoes—all with an expert guide by your side!
See Florence like never before—above the crowds and beyond the ordinary.
Skip the long lines and step straight into the heart of Renaissance history with exclusive VIP access to Florence’s iconic Duomo and its secret terraces. This is your chance to walk in the footsteps of master builders, daring architects, and powerful rulers who shaped the city’s skyline centuries ago.
Your journey begins in the lively Piazza del Duomo, where the majestic Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral towers over the square, its white, green, and pink marble glowing under the Tuscan sun.
Inside the Duomo, enjoy breathtaking frescoes and towering columns surround you. As you look up, you’ll see Vasari’s magnificent fresco of The Last Judgment, a masterpiece that stretches across the inner dome. Your guide will unravel its hidden details, bringing the artwork to life with tales of the artists who poured their genius (and sometimes madness) into it.
Climb Brunelleschi’s Dome, following the path once taken by Renaissance craftsmen. You’ll feel the history in every step, imagining the ambition and vision it took to construct the world’s largest masonry dome—without scaffolding.
Then it’s up to the exclusive terraces, you’ll take in a panoramic, once-in-a-lifetime view of Florence. This hidden vantage point is a true Renaissance secret, one that even many locals don’t know exists.
