Is climbing the Duomo free?

Is Duomo Florence free? The cathedral itself is free, though to climb the dome you must buy a ticket. Besides, when you buy Duomo Florence Tickets you gain access to the crypt, the baptistery, and the campanile. Adults (from 11 years old) tickets start from 25€.

No, entrance is free! You do have to buy the single Grande Museo del Duomo pass to visit the other monuments in Piazza del Duomo (climb up the Dome and the bell tower, the Baptistery and the museum). For this reason, you'll at times find a long line to get in into the cathedral.

Does the dress code apply to the climb as well? As long as you are wearing no shorts and no sleevless tops, you will be ok. Same applies to all religious sites. I see long shorts (to the knee) in the Duomo in Florence and other churches all the time nowadays.

There's no view like it from any structure in the city. With no elevator, the 463-step climb gives you an up-close look at the Duomo ceiling and the surrounding marble, sandstone, and brick. The trek is worth its weight in gold. It's quite a climb to the top, but you must get the view if you can.

A full ticket with Cathedral, Museum, Tower and Baptistery costs 15€. Totally worth to buy it and go first to the museum (if you come in the morning) because there you can see all the information about the dome which is really interesting.

If you'd really like to see the frescos inside the Duomo's dome, make sure you get the BRUNELLESCHI PASS so you can also do that climb. If you're mostly interested in the views of the city, I'd recommend climbing Giotto's bell tower (get the BRUNELLESCHI OR GIOTTO PASS).
