What to expect
Expect a shared group tour with a guide who'll walk you through the cathedral's structure, detailing Brunelleschi's engineering and the façade's marble inlays and sculptural programme. You'll climb 414 steps to Giotto's Bell Tower—narrow, steep stairwells with tight spirals. The crypt visit involves descending into excavated Roman and medieval layers beneath the cathedral floor. Allow plenty of time for stairs; the experience rewards steady climbers with unobstructed views across the city's terracotta roofscape.
