The Duomo is incredible and has so many stories to tell. This is a must see in Milan. Our guide was so knowledgeable and easily communicated the history and facts of the Duomo, along with wonderful stories. Visited on a hot day, but in the morning, still being on the terraces is well worth the heat for spectacular views and a close up of the intricate skulpting of the spires.

The Milan Cathedral was amazing—we loved it. Buying the tickets online was a great idea, but I think the product description is misleading: the “skip-the-line” claim isn’t true. We had a 12:00 PM entry time, so we arrived a little early in case there was a crowd, but it still took us over an hour to get in—though the wait was worth it... Then they told us we could enter the Duomo with that same ticket—to our surprise—but after we went back to stand in line (since the line for the terraces isn’t the same as the one for the cathedral), they told us that ticket wasn’t valid... It was a bummer, and we wasted time, which is why I think they should change things and clearly specify what each ticket is for... But even so, it’s a highly recommended visit, and Milan is so beautiful!

流程通畅无比，导游表述诙谐幽默而又富有知识性，因为我们一行有一位年龄偏大的队员，对米兰大教堂的壮观充满了惊叹和赞赏，一路拍摄耽误了大家的正常行程，导游也是给予了我们充分的理解和宽容，在此对本次活动中我们队员的表现表示歉意，也感谢导游及其他同行人员的宽容表示感谢！

The guide was great, gave many details and information. You get to the rooftop, also included the museum. So it's worth the price. And what's great, you skip the lines, so you don't need to wait, like 10min to the church, 10min to the roof. It also saved time. Sadly, we didn't had a chance to wander the church and you enter only once.

This was an amazing tour. Daniel was a very knowledgeable guide & made it so enjoyable. The tour included an elevator to the terrace so made it perfect for those with reduced mobility & meant they didn't miss out on the super views & information on the cathedral.

Walk the rooftop of Milan’s Duomo—Europe’s largest Gothic terrace—for sweeping city views, hidden stone carvings, and a close-up look at the iconic Madonnina.

Getting started

Your visit begins at the Milan Cathedral entrance. Depending on your ticket, you can choose to climb 250 stairs or take the lift to reach the terraces. For a faster experience, skip-the-line access allows you to bypass the queues and head straight up to the rooftop.

Features

Terrace views: Enjoy panoramic views over Milan’s skyline. From this elevated vantage point, you can spot landmarks like Sforza Castle, the Duomo’s 135 spires, and the iconic Madonnina statue atop the Tiburio.

Candoglia marble forest: Wander through the cathedral’s “stone forest” of intricate spires and pinnacles, carved from signature pink-hued Candoglia marble. Keep an eye out for curious details in the stonework—like Dante’s face, an icepick, a rope, and more.
