Full description

Meet your licensed tour guide in Piazza del Duomo and make your way to the elevator entrance, where you will take the lift to enjoy the unforgettable experience of walking on the rooftop of the magnificent Duomo Cathedral. 

The overall size of this Gothic architecture is impressive and its flying buttresses and the white marble make it one-of-a-kind.

Climb nearly 50 steps to reach the highest level on the roof and be ready to admire stunning views of the Milanese skyline, including the brand new upcoming skyscrapers. On the roof of Italy’s largest cathedral, and one of the biggest in the world, enjoy exciting views of Milan. 

On a clear day, see as far as the Italian Alps, the mountains separating Italy from Switzerland. Over 3.400 statues and 135 spires await to be unveiled and it is definitely best seen from above!

End your visit admiring the golden statue of the Virgin Mary, shining bright on top of the Major spire.

Then, have the incredible privilege of skipping the lines outside the Cathedral and to enter without any further wait, directly from a special entrance from the rooftop (the descent might be done by the stairs). 

Listen as your guide explains the countless statues, decorations and colorful stained-glass windows that tireless craftsmen designed along the centuries. Be amazed while hearing about the stories of the “Holy Nail” from Jesus’ True Cross or the Sundial Trail and its zodiac signs.

The Duomo is beautiful! I was a little annoyed to wait for late arrivals at the beginning but what can you do. The guide was knowledgeable and kept us moving at a good pace! I think when you stand around too long you start to get bored on these tours, but this was not the case. We learned some fun facts about the building and different funny things that the workers added that may not normally be noticeable! Also a fun fact about the confessional! All around great job and great tour’

The Duomo, is a site not to be missed when traveling to Italy and Milan in particular. Furthermore Anna, the guide, made the visit that much more wonderful. From the outset and throughout the two hour tour she displayed her expertise not only on this marvellous historical and religious site, but also answered any and all questions. This tour is highly recommended and Anna made a real difference in our experience. Grazie molto.
