Guided Cathedral visits take place on afternoon tours; morning tours include independent entry after the tour with your pre-reserved tickets.

Low season (generally November to March) is often seen as an opportunity for renovation and maintenance. Therefore, sites may be closed during this period, often without warning.

Please note that Cathedral entry is not available on Sundays.

Individuals wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts above knees are not allowed inside the cathedral.

Backpacks of any size or dimension, and any bag designed to be worn on the back, are not allowed.

This tour includes portions that are outside and could be in the full sun. Please bring a hat, small umbrella, or sunscreen if you are sensitive to the sun.

Arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start of the tour. This is due to the timed entry of the tickets.

It is not possible to join the tour after it has commenced.

Tips/gratuities (for your guide) are always appreciated.

The baptistery is currently undergoing restoration of the vault's mosaics.

Giotto’s Bell Tower has no lift available.

Both the Duomo Museum and the Florence Baptistery are scheduled to be visited; however, depending on timing and availability, the tour may include only one of the two sites.

You may be refused entry if you fail to comply with the cathedral’s dress requirements.

The Cathedral is an active place of worship and may be closed to visitors at any time for liturgical services or religious ceremonies, sometimes without prior notice.
