Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction.
Duomo Milan is Italy's largest church and the third largest in the world. Standing in front of it, you quickly realize why it took over 600 years to complete. It dominates the square and commands attention, even if you weren’t planning to be impressed
Inside, the atmosphere shifts—the Duomo is a Gothic structure, with over 3,400 statues and 135 spires, all carved from white marble. Inside, the grand nave features soaring columns, breathtaking altars, and over 7,000 square meters of stained glass windows that narrate biblical stories. It feels like stepping into the late Middle Ages.
You’ll take an elevator or climb a few flights and suddenly find yourself among carved spires and statues, with panoramic views over Milan. It provides views of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Sforza Castle, and the Italian Alps. It’s one of the rare cathedrals where the roof is just as fascinating as the interior.
The full experience includes the underground archaeological site, the Duomo Museum, and the Church of San Gottardo. You get to not just visit a church, but a whole cultural complex.
The Duomo may be one of Milan’s busiest attractions, but it’s well-organized and visitor-friendly. With skip-the-line tickets, you avoid the long queues at the entrance and head straight inside. There’s also the option to take an elevator to the rooftop instead of climbing stairs, which makes a big difference—especially in summer.
Explore Milan’s rich heritage through sculptures, stained glass, and architectural models detailing the cathedral’s six-century history.
There are several ticket options for Duomo Milan. You can choose a basic entry ticket to visit the cathedral or upgrade for skip-the-line access. Other tickets include access to the terraces (via stairs or lift), the Duomo Museum, the Church of San Gottardo, and the archaeological area. There are also guided tour options for a more immersive experience.
Yes, you can purchase tickets at the venue. But, keep in mind that ticketing queues can be long during peak hours.
Yes, you can choose a ticket that lets you pick between the stairs or lift. Note that the climb involves 250 stairs. Take the lift for a quicker, easier ride—ideal if you’re short on time or want to avoid the 250-step climb. Choose the stairs for a cheaper ticket and a bit of a workout on your way to the same stunning rooftop views.
To ensure availability, it’s best to book your tickets at least 3-5 days in advance as tickets can sell out quickly.
To access the Milan Cathedral, terraces, and museum in one go, it's recommended to opt for an all-inclusive ticket.
A suggested route is to start with the rooftop terraces for breathtaking views, followed by exploring the main cathedral interior, including the altar and notable statues like Saint Bartholomew. Finish with a visit to the Duomo Museum and archaeological area to complete your experience.
When you visit the Cathedral, ensure that your shoulders and knees and covered. Avoid wearing shorts, mini-skirts, sleeveless tops, or any revealing attire. Additionally, sandals, headgear, and sunglasses should be removed inside the cathedral.
The duration of a tour at Duomo Milan can vary based on individual preferences. A typical visit to explore the cathedral, rooftop, and museum may take approximately 2 to 3 hours. However, the time spent can be adjusted according to your pace, interests, and the areas you wish to explore in detail.
All good no problems everything as described. Audio guide on cell phone excellent. Only thing be careful and point out that only medium or small backpacks are accepted.
Only limited time in Milan so we didn't want to use it up queuing to get into this must see attraction! Although we paid more, the entry to the cathedral was seamless and we were straight through into the lift up in no time (quick check of IDs and bag). The cathedral and views from up there are spectacular!
Everything was fine. However, we didn't have an audio guide even though we paid for it when we booked.
So much for skip the line. Turned up early- but had to wait for an hour past our booked time before getting entry. Overcrowded meant long delays and very poor experience. Then after descent into Duomo, we discovered it was closed for "an officisl event" that had been planned for weeks! (Archbidhops inaugeration). These tickets should never have been sold, as impossible to experience what had been contractually sold. FRAUD
Everything is spectacular. Everything is magnificent. The work itself is something incredible to imagine at the time it was conceived.
Speed, no queues, everything very practical. We made the most of our visit, a beautiful and imposing place.
Amazing journey and vey helpful people
I am in love with Duomo so much. It was the best experience for this year. Thanks the stuff for such a good time.
The perfect way to visit Milan Cathedral: Take the Fast-Track elevator to the terraces without queuing and enjoy the view and exciting perspectives. Then descend on foot to the cathedral, which is explained in detail on a tour with an audio guide.
The view from the cathedral over Milan was breathtaking. The cathedral is a spectacular building. Inside, you can't help but be amazed.
The skip the line feature was perfect. Also going up with the lift was helpful. Duomo view from terrace was astonishing. The Charles crypt was also fascinating. The cathedral was a piece of art.
We saw everything included in the ticket without ever having to wait in line, very very convenient
The entrance was quick and the staff was very friendly. The place is beautiful, and worth going to.

The architecture was beautiful. And there was a sense of peace and tranquility while in the cathedral . The views from the roofs were very good as well. The only issue I had was no barcode when I tried to view tickets. The staff were very helpful and let me through
Easy and fun, remember to dress appropriately, one of my friend in my group got rejected for not wearing appropriate clothing. It was an amazing structure though there is some reconstruction but I understand, it's an old building after all need constant maintenance.
I had never shopped on this site before and it has been very satisfactory. Easy purchase and cheaper price than others online for access to the terrace of the duomo in Milan.
Really easy to find the meeting point the guides were really friendly. Plenty of time up in the terraces and out via the cathedral so got to see inside .
Amazing views across the city, and the amount of incredibly intricate stonework around the terraces was incredible. Wasn't too many stairs as long as you're fit and healthy, it can be a bit slippy on the roof blocks though, so wear shoes with some grip! There's a penny press at the top too that takes 5c and 1Euro coins. Slightly annoying that lots of the stuff was under renovation, but you can still see plenty of it, and the views across the city make it worth it.
Simple, quick, hassle-free!
Great visit once my phone produced a ticket.
The kindness of the staff, the visit itself, but the long line was very annoying.

It feels so warm to be here, The atmosphere is so nice. Hope you have a good time. I hope you enjoy everything.

The cathedral and views from up there are spectacular!
Access is excellently organized. We had a short waiting time. Bag check is understandable. Then an elevator ride up to the roof terrace. The view as far as the Alps and the perspectives of the cathedral itself are impressive. The way down is on foot. If you have also booked admission to the cathedral, you turn off directly after the stairs into the cathedral. Wonderfully organized!
Awesome experience.Iit was super easy to get on the terrace of the Duomo.The QR code provided did help speed up the entrance.As usual Headout made it easy
Milan Cathedral is very impressive. The walk across the terrace and the roof of the cathedral was also fascinating 👍
We used Headout tickets for several attractions in Italy and they all worked out perfectly! The instructions were clear and accurate. It's a very convenient service and I'm definitely using Headout again in the future.
The stunning architecture of the Cathedral and the views from the cathedral roof. The museum was very interesting. Headout tickets were easy to use and value for money.
Spectacular building and lots to discover. Beautiful view over the city when everything is accessible. Unfortunately there was a lot of scaffolding when we were there.
Super chateau, very fine museum exhibition, and very inexpensive admission. A must-see.
Everything was perfect. Can't wait until next time
Booking tickets and viewing them on the app makes the experience easier.
It was a beautiful experience
Everything worked out great without any waiting!
Well organized. Too bad the crypt had to be booked separately.
Gigantic building, great view from the terraces
great views from the roof and the interior was fatastic. The downside was the long queue toget in (about 1 hour).
See the Duomo inside and out—climb to the top, walk through centuries of history, and uncover its treasures.

All of it 5* it's a must if visiting Milan
Access to the cathedral was limited to the right aisle only because of church services. No indication of the limit at the ticket office and full ticket cost. When we emailed to complain, we were told that the ticket refund should be made by the ticket issuer and not them.
Magnificent place, nothing to add. Also included in the ticket was a visit to the museum in the building next door, if a guard inside hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known.
Perfect coordination and easy to visit feeling relaxed and free to walk around and see
I obviously liked the dome and found the app user-friendly as well.
It is always a good option to book with you

The guide David was excellent. There was a misunderstanding with the contracted excursion that David kindly solved. They sent me a reservation code that did not correspond to the tour and with a wrong meeting point. Luckily I realized it and sent several emails the day before to solve it but until the last minute we were afraid of losing what we had booked. The visit was 10. The organization was terrible.
It was a good choice. We took the first tour in the morning, beat the crowds and could really enjoy the experience. The guide was good and the rooftop was amazing!
Excellent tour. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience
Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Enjoyed the experience immensely!
The guide was not very nice, could not understand her very well, and the audio guide was not very helpful.
We enjoyed tour guide visit of Duomo, detailed info provided by guide.
The guide gave a very detailed account and answered all the questions
Skip the line ticket without waiting.
We reached 10 mins late than the time , we had paid for a 2 hour guided tour and skip the line we tried contacting the number mentioned but no one answered. Continuous calling some one answered after an hour and said u cannot enter or join. Entire 2 tickets and money get wasted . If 10 min delay we shd be allowed to join tour . We had to take tickets again
Everything worked perfectly well.
Excellent tour guide, Marina who spoke clearly and had in depth knowledge of the Duomo and surroundings as also the history.
Very great tour, saw and learned a lot. Super organization and very nice tour guide. We'd love to do it again!
I loved being able to walk up to see the roof of the cathedral and was able to take photos.
Excellent guide Very knowledgable, very welcoming and nice. Amazing!! Great tour
