Milan Duomo Rooftop Guided Tour and optional Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

During this activity, you’ll have the opportunity , for around 1 hour, to access the upper part of Milan Cathedral. The tour includes priority access to the cathedral’s rooftops, with no queues or waiting times, so you can enjoy the views of the building as quickly and comfortably as possible. What’s more, you’ll take the lift, meaning you won’t have to climb the more than 200 steps.

Throughout the tour, you’ll be accompanied by an expert guide, who’ll share a wealth of interesting facts about the history and architecture of one of Italy’s most important Gothic cathedrals. You’ll be provided with headphones so you can hear your guide, and you’ll learn about the Duomo’s significance in Milan’s development and how its construction took nearly 600 years to complete.

From the building’s rooftop, you’ll be able to admire the sculptures, spires and marble capitals that make up the cathedral. You’ll also be able to enjoy views of the Lombard capital from above and, on sunny days, you can even see the Italian Alps.

Milan Cathedral is the most iconic building in the city. It is considered one of the world’s most representative Gothic cathedrals, as well as one of the largest. It covers an area of 11,000 square metres and can accommodate up to 40,000 people.

If you’re still keen to explore every corner of the city, you can add a 48-hour sightseeing bus ticket when you make your booking. The bus makes numerous stops at the city’s most important attractions, allowing you to visit them all in complete comfort. It features an on-board audio guide that provides interesting facts about everything you see from your seat. You can hop on and off as often as you like, so you can visit the sights at your own pace, or simply sit back and enjoy the entire route whilst admiring the monuments from the bus. The 48 hours start from the moment you validate your ticket at any of the stops, and you can use it on the day of your visit and the following day.
