# Florence Duomo Tour: Dome & Terraces or First Entry Dome Climb

**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. 4.75 from 1132 reviews at €84 per person.

**Dome climb included?:** Spanish Dome and Museum at €84 per person: guided dome climb, three day complex pass; under sevens excluded. 4.75 from 1132 reviews. Trade-off: Steep narrow stairs; not for heart conditions. (last checked September 18, 2026)
