Step by Step
In this activity you will have the opportunity, for about 1 hour, to access the top of the Duomo of Milan. The tour includes priority access to the rooftops of the cathedral, with no queues or waiting, so you can enjoy the views of the building as quickly and comfortably as possible. What's more, you'll go up by lift, forgetting about the more than 200 stairs.
Throughout the visit, you will be accompanied by an expert English-speaking guide, thanks to whom you will be able to learn many interesting facts about the history and architecture of one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Italy . With headphones to listen to your guide, you will learn about the importance of the Duomo in the development of Milan and how it took almost 600 years to complete its construction.
From the roof of the building, you will be able to admire the sculptures, spires and marble capitals that make up the building. You can also enjoy views of the Lombard capital from the top and, on sunny days, you can even see the Italian Alps.
Milan's Duomo is the most iconic building in the Italian city. It is considered one of the most representative Gothic cathedrals in the world, as well as one of the largest. It has a surface area of 11,000 square metres, and a seating capacity of up to 40,000 people.
If you want even more and want to explore every corner of the city, you can add a 48-hour tourist bus ticket when you book. It is a bus that has many stops at the most important points of interest in the city so that you can explore them all in total comfort. It has an on-board audio guide that narrates curious details about everything you see from your seat. You can hop on and off as many times as you like so you can visit the sites at your own pace, or sit back and do the whole route admiring the monuments from the bus. The 48 hours start from the moment you activate your ticket at any of the stops and you can use it on the day of your visit and the following day.
