  • Guided tours inside the churches during masses and scheduled events are limited. If entry is not possible, the guide will provide all information outside.

  • The Basilica della Santissima Annunziata can be visited on weekdays and holidays from 7.30 to 12.30; 16 – 18.30. Admission will be excluded outside those hours.

  • Free entry to Florence Cathedral (Duomo) is only for the main church, excluding the dome, baptistry, bell tower, museum and ancient basilica. The Cathedral can be visited every day between 10AM and 5PM. During the peak season, the line to enter may be 1 hour long so due to time constraints, this attraction may be removed from the itinerary at the guide’s discretion.

If you’re traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
    Piazzale Michelangelo is located up a hill so it’s best to wear comfortable shoes as you will walk a lot.
