The Douma is magnificent as is the rooftop experience. The closeup views of the architecture and the city skyline is incredible… We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were very much impressed with the beauty of the cathedral, too.

5* motolupo – Germany, Nov 8, 2023 – Verified booking

Once in Milan, the cathedral and its roof are simply a must-see if you are even mildly interested in art and architecture. The view from above is worth it. You should book a visit to the cathedral museum straight away. Here you can see countless statues etc. not just somewhere high up on a wall, but up close, so to speak (forbidden! ????) to touch.

When I heard that mass would begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday, I was able to get a ticket for direct admission at that time, get in on time without having to wait in line, and was able to attend mass at the same time as touring the church. It was good.

5* GetYourGuide traveler – Austria, Nov 6, 2023 – Verified booking

Booking the entrance ticket for the cathedral worked perfectly. We were lucky with the time (midday) as there were few visitors at that time. The cathedral is probably a must when visiting Milano, I’m glad we saw it from the inside.

Our guide was soooo good. She went out of her way to show us things we didn’t expect. When we got to the Duomo it was closed and two different people told her that since the archbishop was visiting we could not go in. She persisted, nicely, and finally they let us in. It was so special, Thank you so much!

5* Pablo, May, 2022

This is one of the best excursions to get to know Milan. The tour took us through the duomo, the old part of the city, the Sforza castle and the last supper. Everything excellently explained. One of the best afternoons of our vacation.
