Florence Duomo, Cathedral, Baptistery VIP Early Access Tour

Florence 2 hours 30 minutes

Full of locals, worshippers, and tourists, Piazza del Duomo is Florence’s busiest public square. On this exclusive early-access tour, visit the square’s iconic attractions—the Duomo, Cathedral, and Baptistery—before they’re open to the general public, steps ahead of the inevitable crowds. Follow the official key-bearer, called the “chiavigero,” during the early morning as they prepare the Cathedral and Baptistery for opening. Finish by climbing the Cupola del Brunelleschi in time to see the square below come to life for another day.
