About this guide

BrunelleschiDome.com is an independent guide to climbing Brunelleschi's dome on Florence Cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore. We are not the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, which runs the cathedral and sells the official passes, and we are not a tour operator or Viator. The site name describes the monument we write about, not a business. Official tickets and opening times are on tickets.duomo.firenze.it.

Facts here are checked against the Opera's own ticket, FAQ and news pages, and against each operator's live Viator listing (inclusions, meeting point, recent guest reviews). Prices, hours and closures change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins, and for the official pass the Opera's shop wins.

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.
