With our OFFICIAL DUOMO TOUR only, you will receive a personalized “welcome service” at the entrance and you will skip the long line and you will be accompanied inside the Complex with our guide.
The Dome of the Cathedral of Florence is a masterpiece capable of resisting lightning, earthquakes, wars and the passage of time ... With its diameter of 46 meters is the largest dome in the world built without scaffolding, using a double shell with an intermediate space. The inner shell (with a thickness of more than two meters) is made of light bricks embedded in a herringbone pattern and is the self-supporting structural element while the external dome simply acts as a covering to resist the wind.
The tour includes a visit to the Baptistery of San Giovanni where, on the outside, you can admire the famous gold tiles of the Gate of Paradise by Lorenzo Ghiberti while, inside, you will see the wonderful gold mosaics that inspired Dante Alighieri for the Divine Comedy. At the end of the tour you'll enjoy a delicious Italian artisan gelato.
