Tour to Cupola Climb in Florence

Explore the key landmarks on this comprehensive tour of the Duomo Complex in Florence. This tour allows you to fully explore all elements of the Duomo Complex. The guide will take you on a tour of the Piazza del Duomo and explain to you about the fascinating religious centre.

After seeing the Duomo from all sides of the square you will access the octagonal Baptistery of St. John in Florence. The Baptistery is renowned for its magnificent golden mosaic ceiling and striking bronze doors famously called the Gates of Paradise.

Later you will visit the magnificent Duomo Museum in Florence, which houses over 700 Middle-Age and Renaissance masterpieces, including Michelangelo's Pietà Bandini. It also has incredible masterpieces like the gates of the Baptistery, Donatello’s sculptures, and the original dome’s wooden scaffoldings

As your tour comes to a halt, your guide will drop you off at the entrance to the Cupola Dome, a showstopper but the only way to see the inside of the dome up close and enjoy the extraordinary view of Florence is to climb its 463 steps (there is no elevator).

On the dome's interior, you can admire Giorgio Vasari's frescoes of the Last Judgement (1572-9). Look down and on the base, just above the drum, you'll see that Baccio D'Angelo began adding a balcony in 1507 and how one of the eight sides was unfinished, and to this day the other seven sides remain rough brick!

Once you climb to the top of the Cupola, you will be enchanted by the panoramic view of Florence city in front of your eyes. After you visit the Cupola with your pre-reserved timed ticket, you have the chance to also visit the interior of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, and Santa Reparata and to climb Giotto's Bell Tower at your own pace and time.

Tour to Accademia Gallery in Florence

The guide will introduce you to the Accademia gallery museum revealing all the secrets about David and the other masterpieces hosted in it. Later, the guide will lead you to the Hall of the Colossus to see the works of art of Giambologna’s “Rape of the Sabines”, Cassone Adimari, Domenico Ghirlandaio’s solemn “St. Stephen between St. James and St. Peter”, then onto the main Hall of the Prisoners to learn more about the unfinished statues by Michelangelo “Slaves”, and the friendship and mutual influence with artist like Fra’ Bartolomeo, Pontormo, Granacci, etc.

Later, spend time at The Tribune, sharing all the information about the world-famous statue of Michelangelo, “David's Statue”, and the Tribune Left Wing ", Allori’s Coronation of the Virgin Mary".
