Guidekin's take

Every option climbs Brunelleschi's dome with a licensed guide and hands you a three day pass for the rest of the complex, so Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery, the crypt and the museum can follow at your own pace.

The tiers add the terraces, the museum, a first entry slot or a city walk; it is a steep climb. 4.76 from 1,168 reviews at €81 per person.

Best for: Spanish Dome and Museum at €81 per person: guided dome climb, three day complex pass; under sevens excluded. 4.76 from 1,168 reviews. Duomo, Dome & Bell Tower Tours comparison

Trade-off: Steep narrow stairs; not for heart conditions.

In our comparison: #4 of 9 in Duomo, Dome & Bell Tower Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
