Milan Duomo Terraces Tour

Going up to the Duomo's terraces is a must-do in Milan, providing exceptional views and insights into the cathedral's architecture.

Description

This tour starts at a designated time in Piazza del Duomo, one of the major attractions. Participants will receive an overview of the Milan Cathedral façade before taking a lift to the top, circumventing a 200-step climb.

At the terraces, enjoy panoramic views and explore the numerous decorations, including 3,400 statues, 150 gargoyles, and 96 giants. The ornate spires reach approximately 17 metres (55 feet) and date back to the 18th century. The Madonnina, a statue of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, is also visible and is regarded as the city’s protector.

Key landmarks such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, San Siro Stadium, and Castello Sforzesco are also visible from the terraces, making it an excellent photo opportunity.

The guided tour lasts one hour and concludes back at the starting point.
