Morning<\/b><\/h3>\n

Duomo Complex<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Commonly known as the Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore dominates Florence\u2019s skyline with its stunning terracotta-tiled dome designed by Brunelleschi. You cannot miss the breathtaking city views from its top and for that you have to climb the 463 steps. Moreover, do not miss Giotto’s Bell Tower and the ancient Baptistery with its gleaming “Gates of Paradise” doors by Ghiberti. Always arrive early here to beat the crowds, but if you can\u2019t, no worries, you can skip the line with our <\/span>Florence Duomo Tour With Rooftop Dome Walk<\/b><\/a> ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n
