This ticket will give you skip-the-line admission to Brunelleschi's Dome at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore as well as access to other monuments in Florence's cathedral complex. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was once the third-largest church in the world when it was built in the fifteenth century. Here, you'll get to admire its polychrome marble facade and its majestic dome, designed by Brunelleschi. The remains of the ancient Basilica of Santa Reparata are under the cathedral, and you'll get to see this as well as the famous Gates of Paradise and the precious mosaic of the dome inside the Baptistery of San Giovanni. You'll also have access to the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, and you'll be treated to city views from Giotto's Bell Tower.
