What is the Best Time to Visit Duomo Milan?

Weekday vs Weekend
Duomo Milan is open every day from 9 AM to 6 PM. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe and gets hundreds of tourists every day. If you are planning to explore the cathedral without crowds, choose to visit as early in the morning as possible. Buy tickets online to avoid physical contact and long queues.
The Duomo rooftops are open until 7 PM on Thursday and until 8 PM from Friday to Sunday. Visit the rooftop in the evening to click Instagram-worthy photos. Weekends see a large number of tourists and worshippers flocking to the cathedral, so we would recommend avoiding weekends unless you’d like to attend mass.

Peak Season vs Low Season
The best time of the year to visit Duomo Milan is during the spring season. The weather in Milan in the spring months of April and May gets cooler, and the crowds get thinner. Summer falls between June, July, and August, and the city witnesses thousands of tourists flocking into places like the Duomo Milan.
Christmas is an important festival in Milan, and you may not find many attractions open, so we suggest not visiting during winter. September is packed in Milan as the city will be hosting the iconic Milan Fashion week. Attractions are likely to be crowded and hotel prices will be high during this time.
