Skip the Line at the Florence Duomo: Tour with Reserved Entrance (Smart Price)

Visiting Florence without entering the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is an unforgivable sin. However, the reality that greets tourists in Piazza del Duomo is often discouraging: an endless queue, under the sun or rain, which can last for hours. Since admission to the Cathedral is free for individuals, it cannot be booked in advance, making the line inevitable.


Or rather, it is for everyone else.


At Nearby Italy, we have the perfect solution for those who want to visit the jewel of Florence without wasting time and without spending a fortune. A "Smart VIP" tour that transforms a logistical nightmare into an exclusive stroll.

The Secret: Reserved Entrance!


The true value of this tour is not just the expert guide, but the access. Thanks to an exclusive partnership, our group does not go through the main entrance. We enter through a dedicated door on the side of the Cathedral, reserved exclusively for our clients. While the crowd waits outside, you are already inside, admiring the majestic Brunelleschi’s Dome from below.

Why it is the Perfect Tour for Day Trippers


If you arrive in Florence by train or only have a few hours available, time is your most precious resource. You cannot afford to spend two hours in line. This tour is designed for efficiency:


  • Optimized Duration: 30 minutes of intense and engaging guided touring with a certified tourist guide.
  • Zero Waiting: you enter, you listen, you admire.
  • Maximum Freedom: at the end of the explanation, you can stay inside the Cathedral for as long as you like to take photos or enjoy the sacred atmosphere at your own pace.

A VIP Experience at an Accessible Rate


We want to dispel the myth that "skipping the line" has to be expensive. This tour is designed for those seeking quality and comfort at a fair price.


  • Small Groups & Comfort: The group can reach up to 25 people, and we guarantee the use of radio guides (for groups of 6 participants and up). This means you can hear the guide perfectly through headphones without having to crowd around, enjoying the grandeur of the church as you walk.
  • Total Accessibility: Traveling with a stroller or a wheelchair? Our tour is designed for everyone!

The Cultural Bonus: The Misericordia Museum


Included in the price of the tour, you will also receive entry to the Museo della Misericordia, located right at our meeting point (Piazza del Duomo 19/20).

Here, the association's volunteers will be happy to guide you in discovering one of the oldest and most important institutions in the city, adding a touch of historical authenticity to your visit.


Don't waste your time in line. Choose the fast track. Choose to enjoy Florence from the very first minute.
