📖

Full description

A qualified guide leads the group into Santa Maria del Fiore, explaining how the cathedral developed and how Brunelleschi overcame the challenges of building its dome. The commentary covers the Last Judgement fresco by Vasari and Zuccari and the stained glass that lights the nave.

After the guided portion, visitors may stay inside, subject to the cathedral's arrangements. The package includes headphones for larger groups and admission to the Misericordia Museum.

Reviewers report side-entrance access that avoids the main line, though one found the guide hard to follow.
