Climb to the top of the Duomo!

Cathy_S, Apr 2023

Our guide Illaria was great! Fun group! Not easy climbing to the top but views are well worth it! I highly recommend this tour!

Great Views!

Anthony_H, Sep 2019

Walking up the dome was a great experience. There are almost 500 steps but totally worth the climb. We did have time to rest a few times going up while learning the history of the Cuploa Dome. The view from the top was spectacular! Getting a close-up view while climbing up of the interior dome artwork was amazing. And the ticket for the Dome gave us Free access to the museum and the church afterwords! Great tour!
