About the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is free to enter, but the rest of Florence's monumental complex - Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the Opera del Duomo Museum, and the archaeological site of Santa Reparata - requires a ticket. Access is offered through three official passes: the Brunelleschi Pass, the Giotto Pass, and the Ghiberti Pass, each valid for three consecutive calendar days. Booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially in high season, as timed entry is required for the Dome climb.

The monumental complex of Santa Maria del Fiore is composed of: - Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore: free entry - Brunelleschi's Dome: Brunelleschi Pass only - Giotto's Bell Tower: Brunelleschi and Giotto Pass only - Baptistery of San Giovanni: all passes - Opera del Duomo Museum: all passes - Santa Reparata: all passes

There are also option to visit the complex with an audioguide or a guided tour, for a more interesting and deep experience of Florence's cultural heritage.
