About this guide

CattedraleDiSantaMariaDelFiore.com is an independent guide to visiting Florence Cathedral, the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, and its dome, bell tower, Baptistery and museum. We are not the cathedral, the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, a tour operator or Viator, and the site name describes the place we write about rather than our business. For official tickets and information, see duomo.firenze.it and the official ticket shop.

Facts here are checked against the Opera's own pages (prices, opening hours, rules), the operators' listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews) and other published sources. Prices, hours and closures change; when a listing or the Opera and this page disagree, they win.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when the 30 euro official pass is the better buy. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
