What to expect

Features

  • Experience the full story: With a professional guide (English, Spanish, Italian, or German), explore how these three spaces, sacred, civic, and artistic, reflect Florence’s ambition, ingenuity, and faith.

  • Discover deeper meaning: From the golden mosaics of the Baptistery to Brunelleschi’s revolutionary architecture and Ghiberti’s original Gates of Paradise, your guide reveals how these monuments shaped one another over centuries.

  • Want more? Upgrade your experience: After your guided tour, add climbs to Brunelleschi’s Dome and Giotto’s Bell Tower. These panoramic summits offer a soaring new perspective, not just of Florence, but of the genius behind the architecture you’ve just explored.
