Description
If you want a Florence Duomo Tour that’s not packed with other tourists, this small group tour is the best choice for you. A guide and the chiavigero (Key holder) will get you in some of the first ones to go in in the morning. That way, you can enjoy the great frescoes lit up for your viewing pleasure before the rooftop sets the scene for the city of Florence to wake up.
Explore the Florence Duomo - a special experience with tickets for climbing the dome
Imagine walking into the famous cathedral of Florence at first light, and seeing step by step the lighting up of its great frescoed vault. But this does not need one to only dream, as the Florence Duomo tour allows one to meet the **chiavigero** at dawn who will open this 500 plus years old historic building’s doors for your small group. Your guide will take you to see the great features of the Duomo interior, such as the wonderful clock made by Paolo Uccello, and will tell you how it works. Enjoy the peace of the morning in Florence as the first sunlight of the day dawns inside the Dome before the rest of the day’s visitors and tourists arrive! Who built the dome of Florence Cathedral? If this name means nothing to you, it’s Brunelleschi – and this cupola is the conclusion to this tour. Climbing to the dome top is witnessing the Florentine awakening from above as a sight one just never forgets. So here’s one last question: How many steps are there in the Dome of Florence? There are 463 (including terraces and the Dome) – don’t forget your Fitbit to count them all!Highlights
