Florence Alone in the Duomo

Every year, millions flock to Florence’s Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore—better known as the Duomo—making it one of the most visited (and crowded) sites in Italy. But this VIP after-hours tour offers rare access to the cathedral like most visitors could only dream of.

Your experience begins in the bustling piazza as the last daytime guests are still queuing. You’ll bypass the crowds and enter with your expert guide, heading straight up the 463 steps of Brunelleschi’s masterpiece. Along the way, admire stunning frescoes and hear the incredible story behind the dome’s revolutionary design—still unmatched centuries later.

From the top, take in panoramic views of Florence, then enjoy exclusive access to both cathedral terraces, open just for your small group. These rarely visited walkways offer unforgettable perspectives of the city and the dome’s intricate construction—still baffling modern architects today.

Back at ground level, you’ll step into a nearly empty sanctuary, bathed in silence and serenity. With the crowds gone, you’ll have space to appreciate the art, architecture, and sacred atmosphere in peace.

The grand finale? A truly unforgettable moment as the cathedral’s Key Master turns out the lights and locks the doors for the night—with you there to witness it. Plus, your ticket includes 72-hour access to the Opera Duomo Museum, Baptistery, and Crypt of Santa Reparata to explore at your leisure.

This is Florence’s Duomo like you’ve never seen it—exclusive, intimate, and unforgettable.
