Ticket comparison

Hours do not change pass prices. They change whether the slot you bought still exists that day.

Timing is everything

The complex closes Easter, Christmas, New Year. Dome 16–20 Nov 2026; tower 9–13 Nov 2026.

How to save

Do not pay for a “dawn tour” if the nave opens at 10:15: you would be in the square looking at marble, which is free.

How to get there

Arrive for the slot, not for the train timetable.

Official hours and pass prices: Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, tickets.duomo.firenze.it. Partner (Tiqets) prices as of August 2026; they change.
