Know Before You Book

Is this tour accessible for wheelchair users or guests with mobility issues?

Due to conditions inside the Duomo (463 steps and fairly narrow passageways), wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, and anyone with claustrophobia unfortunately cannot be accommodated on this tour.

Are children able to take this tour?

Due to security reasons, children under 7 years of age aren't allowed to climb to the Terraces and are therefore unable to participate in this tour. Minors between the ages of 7-17 must be accompanied by an adult to climb the Terraces.

Can I bring a bag inside the Florence Cathedral?

No bags of any size, large or small, are allowed on this tour. Free lockers are available before entering the Duomo, your guide will accompany you to them. For large items such as suitcases, backpacks, and large or medium-sized bags visitors to the Cathedral must use mandatory luggage storage (Piazza Duomo n. 38/r)

Does the Florence Duomo ever close unexpectedly?

The Florence Cathedral may occasionally close due to special celebrations or festivities, including Easter ceremonies. We will know in advance and will try to reschedule the tour, contacting you directly.
