I never imagined having the Duomo almost to myself! Seeing it light up as we entered was something I’ll never forget. The early wake-up call was 100% worth it. Climbing the dome right after was the cherry on top—breathtaking views with zero hassle. Highly recommend!

Watching the key master unlock the Duomo’s doors felt like stepping into a secret world. Walking inside with no crowds was absolutely magical, and seeing the cathedral light up around us was breathtaking. Climbing Brunelleschi’s Dome afterward was the perfect ending. Worth every penny!
