What to expect
Collect your tickets and audioapp access the day before your visit. Arrive at Piazza del Duomo with comfortable walking shoes and deposit any large bags at the museum storage (mandatory before climbing). Download the app beforehand and verify it works on your device. Work through the monuments in any order: stand in the Cathedral studying its interior mosaics and details via audio commentary, climb the bell tower for Florentine vistas, view the Baptistery (note: mosaics are currently under restoration), descend into the crypt, and tour the museum. Conclude with a Tuscan tasting at a separate venue—you'll receive directions by email or WhatsApp.
