Highlights

Enjoy an incredible and unique experience (no other church in the world offers this opportunity) by walking on the roofs of the majestic DUOMO CATHEDRAL: it’s definitely worth the visit!
- 3,400 statues (more than any other cathedral in the world)
- 135 pinnacles
- The possibility to “touch and enter into” the style of the Duomo
- An exhilarating panoramic view of Milan
- A unique experience: walking on the church’s roof
- A stunning atmosphere.
Description
The tour will begin with a description of the facade; our English-licensed tour guide will provide a lively introduction to the monument. Next, you will use the elevator to ascend the steepest part of the Cathedral’s stairs to reach the first terrace, saving 200 steps!
The rooftop is a system of inclined and accessible terraces with walkways and connecting staircases. This will allow you to reach and almost touch all the flying buttresses, crockets, pinnacles, and statues…
Walking through them, you will behold the breathtaking skyline of Milan, and your guide will point out all the buildings you can admire from the top (the dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the San Siro Stadium, the Martini Terrace, the new and modern neighborhoods of Milan, and much more), witnessing the ever-moving and evolving life of the city.
