Florence Cathedral (Duomo di Firenze) Tickets

There's so much to see and do at the Duomo – it's smart to do your research. There are lots of different options when it comes to buying Florence Duomo tickets.

The easiest option is to buy a ticket that includes access to the cathedral, Brunelleschi's Dome, and the Giotto Bell Tower.

You'll benefit from [reserved entrance[(https://www.tiqets.com/en/florence-attractions-c71854/tickets-for-brunelleschi-dome-premium-entry-p1032002/) and spend more time exploring the Duomo (and less time waiting in line, which could be up to 2 hours!).

Another worthwhile option is to go for a guided tour. That way, as you explore the Florence Duomo, you'll get all the fascinating context and history that you might otherwise miss.

Access to Giotto's Bell Tower isn't always included in your Florence Duomo ticket, so it's good to know your options. Some tickets include the bell tower as standard, while some have it listed as an optional extra, and for other tickets, it's not included at all.

Take a look at the inclusions with each Florence Cathedral ticket and see what option is best for you.

The lines for Florence Cathedral can be long, so you'll want to avoid those where possible. The best way to skip the line for the Duomo is to buy tickets in advance, looking out for inclusions like skip the line, priority access, or reserved entrance.
