Step by Step
With this ticket, you'll gain access to the rooftop of Milan's magnificent Duomo. Opt for the elevator or tackle the 251-step climb to reach the panoramic terrace of this grand cathedral. From this sky-high perch, you'll spot countless landmarks across one of Italy's most vibrant cities.
The cathedral itself took nearly six centuries to complete and remains the largest in Italy and the third-largest in the world. Its soaring nave reaches about 45 meters—the tallest Gothic vaulted ceiling of any complete church—and the rooftop is open to visitors, offering a rare, up-close look at sculptures that would otherwise go unnoticed from ground level.
As you explore the rooftop, you'll encounter countless gargoyles and the distinctive spires that define the Duomo's silhouette, along with other celebrated statues. Among them is the Madonnina, a gilded statue standing over 4 meters tall that crowns the building's highest point.
From the terrace—which spans nearly the entire roof—you'll enjoy stunning views of Milan's skyline and other iconic sites throughout this cosmopolitan hub, also known as the fashion capital. Notable landmarks include:
- Piazza del Duomo: Milan's main square, named after the cathedral itself. It marks the city's geographic and cultural heart and stands as its top tourist attraction, brimming with artistic, cultural, and social significance.
- Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: Italy's oldest active shopping arcade and one of Milan's most treasured monuments. This elegant, four-story double arcade sits in the city center and is lined with luxury boutiques and cafés.
Reviews
- MM.I thought it was a must-see if you’re into architecture. The photos turn out well, but seeing it in person is far better.
- AA.We went early and enjoyed it very much. The square, seen from above, has a very special atmosphere.
- HH.It’s a different way of exploring the cathedral. I found myself gazing at the spires and the statues for longer than I’d intended.
- SS.It was a lovely experience, although there were a few narrow sections where there was a bit of a queue. Nothing serious.
