Before skipping 100% any queue and admire the monumental interior of Florence Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, your local English-speaking guide will give you a wealth of information about all the religious buildings on Piazza del Duomo to fully then appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the immense social value of Florence Cathedral, Baptistery, Belltower and Brunelleschi's dome. The visit inside the Cathedral will be conducted "beyond the ropes", an exclusive route, accessible to just few groups a day, permitting you to also stand right under Brunelleschi's dome by the high altar of the Cathedral. A truly special visit.
