Florence Skip-The-Line Duomo Tour with Guide & Rooftop Dome Walk

Most catholic churches in Italy require a dress code in order to enter.

For The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, you are requested to be covered from shoulders to knees (shoulders, chest, stomach and thighs must be all covered by clothing).

It is permissible to wear shorts, provided that they are long enough to cover your thighs and knees.
You are also permitted to wear tank tops or spaghetti strap dresses, but you will need to bring with you a garment (shawl, jacket, cardigan) that can cover all the exposed parts between your shoulders and knees when you enter the building.

Thank you for your understanding and if please contact us if you require further clarification.

Bulky bags and backpacks are not allowed inside portions of this tour including the Dome. You are welcome to leave larger bags at our office where a member of our staff will keep a watchful eye over them, but please note that this tour will end at the Cathedral, which is a five minute’s walk from our office.
