My family and I were denied entry to the cathedral and were told our tickets were only for the bell tower. Needless to say I was disappointed. The Bell Tower was amazing and a wonderful experience. Would have liked to have seen the inside of the cathedral though.

Having to go to the ti let office first and then go to the venue is si h a waste of time if there isn't a guided tour. And it's confusing when we are told that our "host will take it from there " once we get to the ticket office. It would be much easier to just let us have an electronic ticket.

This experience was well worth it for our 1-week vacation in Florence. We were able to pick our times and choose what days we did each museum. The only hiccup was a differing entry time (9:30 vs. 10:00 am) between our app's tickets and the ticket times that were given to us the day of. Otherwise, I highly suggest this ticket package! Well worth not standing in line and not individually booking each museum or experience.

The guidelines were a little bit confusing but it played out well. Wasn't so clear that you can enter only in the specifies timeslot so we waited 2 times in the cue...

Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as The Duomo is a prominent landmark in Florence. Travel back in time through its hundreds of years of history and learn some interesting facts about the cathedral, a major architectural masterpiece ahead of its time.

Brunelleschi’s Dome continues to stun and intrigue to this day. The building plan was entered into a contest by Filippo Brunelleschi, an amateur architect with no serious training. After much contemplation, confusion, and controversy, his double-shell design was accepted and finally built. The result was a stunning masterpiece capable of withstanding lightning, earthquakes, and the passage of time.

If you choose a ticket with Giotto's Bell Tower, be prepared to climb over 400 steps! It's worth it in the end though as you'll be treated to a panoramic view of Florence. The Campanile is a true example of Florentine Gothic architecture from the 13th-century and was built by Giotto, one of the principal artists and architects of the time.

With the Museum and Baptistery ticket, you'll get to see over 750 works covering over 720 years of history. From Arnolfo to Donatello, up to Ghiberti and Michelangelo, the greatest Florentine sculptures in the world are here, at the Opera del Duomo Museum, for you to explore. Continue onwards to the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest churches in Florence, located right in front of the cathedral. The Baptistery is topped by an eight-segment dome resting on its walls but it is best known for its three sets of bronze doors that come with relief sculptures - Michelangelo dubbed the east doors the Gates of Paradise.
