Step back in time and witness the architectural genius of the Renaissance with our exclusive Brunelleschi's Dome Immersive Experience in the heart of Florence. This unique tour perfectly blends cutting-edge technology with the timeless history of one of the world's most iconic monuments.
Your journey begins with a state-of-the-art Pico VR headset. Forget standard guided tours; here, you will virtually step inside the very structure of the dome. You will explore hidden spaces, inspect complex construction techniques, and uncover architectural secrets that remain invisible to the naked eye during a traditional visit. It is an unparalleled opportunity to walk alongside Filippo Brunelleschi himself as he realizes his masterpiece.
Once you have mastered the history through technology, the experience continues with a physical climb to the top of the Florence Cathedral’s Dome. As you ascend, you will gain a profound appreciation for the sheer scale and engineering brilliance required to construct this massive brick shell without scaffolding. Upon reaching the summit, you will be rewarded with breathtaking, panoramic views over Florence, offering the perfect photo opportunity and a moment to soak in the beauty of the Tuscan capital.
This 10-minute immersive segment is designed to enrich your visit, making it ideal for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and travelers looking for a deeper connection to the city. Whether you are a first-time visitor to Florence or a returning admirer of Italian art, this experience offers a perspective that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Join us for a journey through time and space, where history meets the future of discovery.
Wear comfortable walking shoes for the climb to the top of the dome. Book your time slot in advance as this experience is highly popular among visitors.
Choose this experience because it transforms a standard sightseeing trip into a deep, educational journey. While many tourists simply look at the cathedral from the ground, you will gain an intimate understanding of the 'how' and 'why' behind its construction through immersive VR. By combining the virtual insights with the physical climb, you get the best of both worlds: a clear vision of the historical context and the physical thrill of reaching the top of the world's most famous dome. It is the most comprehensive way to experience Florence's crown jewel.
Not at all! Our staff will assist you with the Pico VR headset, ensuring it is comfortable and ready for your immersive journey. The setup is quick, simple, and suitable for all ages.
The climb involves several hundred steps in a narrow space. We recommend it for those who are physically fit, but the reward of the panoramic view over Florence is absolutely worth the effort.
