Itinerary

1. Brunelleschi's dome
Brunelleschi’s Dome is one of the greatest architectural achievements of the Renaissance and the crowning glory of Florence’s Cathedral. Designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and completed in 1436, it was the largest dome ever built at the time and remains the largest brick dome in the world. Innovative construction techniques allowed the dome to be built without scaffolding, a feat that astonished Brunelleschi’s contemporaries. The interior features spectacular frescoes by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari. Visitors can climb 463 steps to the top, where breathtaking panoramic views of Florence await.
Duration: 45 mins
2. Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, better known as the Florence Duomo, is the spiritual heart of the city and a masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Construction began in 1296 and continued for over 140 years, culminating in the iconic Brunelleschi’s Dome. The cathedral's richly decorated façade, made of white, green, and pink marble, stands out in Florence’s skyline. Inside, visitors can admire impressive frescoes, including Vasari’s Last Judgment beneath the dome. As one of the largest churches in the world, the Duomo represents the artistic and religious soul of Florence and remains a symbol of its glorious history.

The Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of Florence’s oldest and most important religious buildings, dating back to the 11th century. Its octagonal shape, white and green marble façade, and golden mosaic ceiling make it a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture. The baptistery is best known for its three sets of bronze doors, especially the “Gates of Paradise” by Lorenzo Ghiberti, which revolutionized Renaissance sculpture. Inside, visitors can admire stunning mosaics depicting the Last Judgment and scenes from the Bible. For centuries, this was the place where Florentines, including Dante Alighieri, were baptized. Please keep in mind that the mosaics are undergiong restoration.
Duration: 45 mins
4. Campanile di Giotto
Giotto’s Bell Tower stands beside Florence’s Cathedral and is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Italy. Designed by Giotto di Bondone in 1334, the 84-meter-high tower is richly decorated with colorful marble, sculptural panels, and statues. Although Giotto died before its completion, the work was continued by Andrea Pisano and later by Francesco Talenti. Visitors can climb 414 steps to the top for one of the best panoramic views of Florence, including a unique perspective of Brunelleschi’s Dome. Elegant and harmonious, the tower reflects Florence’s artistic brilliance during the 14th century.
Duration: 45 mins
5. Museo Dell'opera Del Duomo
The Opera del Duomo Museum houses the original artworks created for Florence’s Cathedral, Baptistery, and Bell Tower. With over 750 works across 25 rooms, it features masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Luca della Robbia, and Ghiberti, including the original Gates of Paradise. The museum offers a full-size reconstruction of the cathedral’s original façade and tells the story of the Duomo’s construction through models, sculptures, and artifacts. One of the highlights is Michelangelo’s Pietà, which he intended for his own tomb. A visit here offers a deeper understanding of Florence’s spiritual and artistic legacy.

6. Crypt of Santa Reparata
Hidden beneath Florence Cathedral lies the Crypt of Santa Reparata, the remains of one of the city’s earliest Christian churches. Dating back to the 5th century, the basilica was later rebuilt several times before being replaced by the current cathedral. Excavations have revealed mosaics, tombs, and architectural fragments, offering insight into early Christian Florence. Among the most significant finds is the tomb of Filippo Brunelleschi, the genius behind the cathedral’s dome. A visit to the crypt provides a rare opportunity to walk through layers of history and witness the city’s spiritual evolution over the centuries.
