Overview

Join our 1-hour guided tour of the Florence Cathedral, the magnificent Santa Maria del Fiore. As you step into the heart of Florence, you’ll be awestruck by the sheer grandeur of this architectural masterpiece, which dominates the city’s skyline.

Known as the Florence Dome, this cathedral is not just the largest church in Florence but also holds the distinction of being the second largest in Italy, after St. Peter's in Rome, and the fourth largest in the world. It's no wonder that nearly 2 billion visitors are drawn to its splendor each year.

During the tour, your expert guide will lead you through the intricate details of the cathedral’s facade, its stunning interior, and, of course, the iconic dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. You’ll uncover the stories behind its construction, the challenges faced, and the triumphs that made it an enduring symbol of Florence.
