Description

THE FLORENCE DUOMO – FIRST ENTRY & EXCLUSIVE DOME CLIMB Unlock the Duomo before the crowds. Be among the privileged few to step inside Florence’s majestic cathedral at dawn, accompanied by the chiavigero — the historic key holder — who opens the doors just for your small group. With no one else inside, you'll watch the stunning frescoes come to life as they’re lit in near silence. It's an experience few ever get to have. Your own private Duomo moment. This isn't just a tour — it's a moment of connection with Florence’s most iconic monument. Walk through the cathedral in peace, explore Paolo Uccello’s one-of-a-kind 24-hour clock, and learn stories that most visitors never hear. Climb the Dome before the crowds. Finish your morning with first access to Brunelleschi’s dome. Climb all 463 steps and reach the top just as the city awakens below you. The view? Absolutely unforgettable.
