Giotto's Bell Tower, Florence Cathedral & Museum: Entry Ticket + Audio guide

Giotto's Bell Tower, Florence Cathedral, and Museum combined entry

This ticket covers the full Florence Duomo complex minus the dome climb: Giotto's Bell Tower, the Cathedral interior, the Baptistery, the Opera del Duomo Museum, and the Santa Reparata crypt beneath the cathedral floor. A digital audio guide provides commentary at each site. It is the most comprehensive Duomo complex ticket that does not require the physical dome climb.

Climbing Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence

Giotto's Campanile stands 84.7 metres tall beside the cathedral. The climb of 414 steps takes you up through the bell chamber to a terrace with panoramic views across Florence, including a close-up of Brunelleschi's dome from the same height. The bell tower climb is less crowded and less claustrophobic than the dome climb, making it the preferred elevated viewpoint for many visitors.

Florence Cathedral, Baptistery, and Opera del Duomo Museum

The Cathedral contains the Last Judgement dome fresco and works by Uccello and Ghiberti. The Baptistery, Florence's oldest building, holds golden ceiling mosaics and was the site of every Florentine baptism for centuries. The Opera del Duomo Museum displays the original Gates of Paradise, Donatello's Mary Magdalene, and Michelangelo's Bandini Pieta. The Santa Reparata crypt reveals the earlier church buried beneath the cathedral floor.

The Duomo complex without the dome climb

This ticket covers everything in the Duomo complex except the dome climb itself. For visitors who want the views without the narrow, steep dome staircase, Giotto's Bell Tower provides an equally impressive panorama with a wider, less confined stairway. The Opera del Duomo Museum is often the unexpected highlight: seeing the original Gates of Paradise at arm's length is extraordinary.
