Itinerary

1
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
30min
Face the façade that shook a city. Marble giants, Gothic lines, Dante’s Florence carved in stone. Your guide pulls the drama out of every detail.
2
Museo Dell'opera Del Duomo
1h
Step inside the Opera Museum. Michelangelo’s unfinished Pietà stares back at you. Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise blaze with gold. Every room, a Renaissance punch.
3
Battistero Di San Giovanni
30min
The mosaics ignite above you—scenes of heaven and hell that once crowned Medici weddings and Dante’s baptism. Light, gold, shock.
4
Cupola Del Brunelleschi
45min
