Description
Enjoy Florence’s Renaissance masterpieces without crowds by choosing an early morning or late afternoon start. With the optional skip-the-line ticket, begin at the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo’s David and the unfinished “Slaves” sculptures, guided by an expert with detailed insights.
Proceed to Piazza del Duomo to admire the Baptistery’s bronze doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise,' before entering the Florence Cathedral with skip-the-line priority. Your group will have exclusive access to the Duomo's North Terrace to explore quietly. The tour finishes with a climb to the top of the Duomo for panoramic city views.
If you select the Skip-the-Line David, Duomo & City Highlights option, instead of the dome climb and terraces you will explore Renaissance Florence's outdoor sculptures at Piazza della Signoria, learn about the Medici family at Palazzo Vecchio, and visit the Ponte Vecchio to discover its architecture and history.
