Milan Duomo Rooftop Guided Tour with Lift Access

The Milan Duomo rooftop guided tour begins with a licensed guide and a priority entrance, so the ticket queue is not your problem. A lift then takes you up to the walkways that run between marble spires and carved figures.

Up here the view reaches across Milan and, when the sky is clear, as far as the Alps. Your guide explains the symbols and legends in the stonework and tells how more than six centuries of building shaped a cathedral among the biggest anywhere.

• Priority entrance and lift access to the rooftops
• The terraces, spires and sculptures up close
• The columns, stained-glass windows and interior of the cathedral

Back down, the visit continues inside, beneath the tall columns and the coloured glass, with the artistic and religious meaning of the Duomo explained along the way. The whole visit takes about two hours.

Good to know: the highest level needs about 50 steps on foot after the lift, and the same stairs lead down, so the rooftops are not wheelchair accessible. Shoulders and knees must be covered, and food, drinks and glass bottles stay outside.
