What to expect

Dive into the art and architecture of Florence with skip-the-line access at two of Florence’s famous attractions. Slip into the famed Accademia Galleria before the crowds, arriving at Michelangelo's David without the bustle of others and enjoy exclusive access to the famed Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral's terraces and climb that incomparable dome all without waiting in line.

Let a local expert guide lead the way and revel at some of the greatest art and architecture produced during the Italian Renaissance. Meet outside the Accademia Galleria. Before the daytime crowds arrive, marvel at Michelangelo’s statue of David as well as his unfinished sculptures known as "Slaves" granting you incredible insight into the mind of this Master artist. Then, explore the streets of Florence starting from Piazza della Signoria, arguably the most famous piazza in the city.

Next, head to Piazza del Duomo to marvel at the Baptistery and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the red-capped duomo brought to life by Filippo Brunelleschi. Step onto the cathedral's terraces with special entrance, and then climb to the top of the duomo (optional) with special skip-the-(long)-line access.
