I attended the terraces. It took me 10 sec to get up by lift. It was awesome view of Milan. You should go by 90 steps up to the very top . I didn't do it because of fear.

The view from Milan Cathedral is unique. The architecture is full of attention to detail. We took the elevator up, but there are still around 100 more steps to climb. The only way down is via the stairs. Every step is worth it.

The Milan Duomo Full Complex Skip-the-Line Tickets with Terrace Access experience was amazing - worth every penny! The rooftop was unlike anything we had ever seen - the beauty and complexity will make all other churches pale in comparison. We also toured the inside of the church, the crypts and archeological excavation area, which were also very impressive. We would definitely recommend this tour and Headout to anyone planning to visit the Duomo! Grazie!

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!

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.

Its scale will stop you in your tracks

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

It feels like stepping into another era

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 can actually walk on the rooftop

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.

It’s more than just the cathedral

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.

It’s surprisingly easy to visit

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.

Things to know before buying Duomo Milan tickets

  • If you're mainly interested in seeing the inside of the Duomo, the standard entry ticket lets you explore the cathedral’s beautiful interior and admire its architecture and stained glass windows at your own pace. If you want the full experience, go for the all-inclusive ticket —it gives you access to everything: the Cathedral, the Duomo Museum, the Church of San Gottardo, and the underground archaeological area.
  • To reach the terraces, you have the option of either climbing around 250 steps or taking the lift for a quicker and more accessible route to the top.
  • The queues to enter the Duomo can range from 30 minutes to over an hour, especially during peak season. For travelers short on time, skip-the-line tickets offer a convenient solution, allowing you to bypass the wait.
  • You can choose a ticket that includes both the rooftop terraces and the cathedral interior for the full experience. Or, if you're mainly interested in the views, go for a terrace-only ticket —just note that it won’t include entry to the cathedral or other parts of the complex.
  • For a deeper understanding of the Cathedral's history and architecture, you can opt for a guided experience that offers interesting insights into both the Duomo and its terraces.
