Milan Duomo Terraces Tour

Going up to the Duomo's terraces is an essential experience in Milan, offering exceptional views and insights into the Duomo's architecture.

Description

Visitors to Milan should explore the Duomo's terraces. At the scheduled time, we will meet at Piazza del Duomo and commence the tour.

The tour includes an explanation of the Milan Cathedral façade, followed by a lift ride to the top, bypassing the 200-step ascent. From the terraces, you will enjoy panoramic views of Milan and observe over 3,400 statues, 150 gargoyles, and 96 giants that adorn the cathedral.

You will also see the ornate spires, approximately 17 metres (55 feet) high, dating back to the 18th century. The statue of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, known as the Madonnina, is a highlight and is viewed as the city's protector.

Additionally, from the terraces, you will see major Milanese landmarks, such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, San Siro Stadium, and Castello Sforzesco. Remember to bring your camera!

The guided tour concludes after one hour back at the starting point. Arrivederci!
