Brunelleschi's Dome and Cathedral Complex Reserved Ticket
General information about the Brunelleschi's Dome and Cathedral Complex Reserved Ticket
Book your Brunelleschi's Dome and Cathedral Complex Reserved Ticket online and secure a fixed time slot to climb Filippo Brunelleschi's masterpiece, the largest masonry dome ever built without a supporting frame. Standing 116 metres tall, the dome has crowned Florence's skyline since the 15th century, and your reserved slot gives access to a restricted stretch of the climb, not open to general visitors, where you can see Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari's The Last Judgement, the largest mural painting in the world, from inside the drum. Beyond the Dome, the ticket unlocks the rest of the Duomo complex for 72 hours, with fast-track entry into the Cathedral through the crypt.
