Panayiotis DarrasJanuary 5, 2017Top architecture.Tip to avoid waiting: take ticket (pass a) from shop at the back of cathedral ,check the rooftop and come back again at 19:30(half an hour its enough to discover the inside).😉🇬🇷

Thom BSeptember 29, 2017Amazing place. Huge scale. Take advantage of the all in one ticket and visit the archeology (near the door) and roof (outside on the right hand side). All are great.
Upvoted 3 days ago- drew tarvinMarch 16, 2015The inside is nice but the real fun is going up top. Buy a stairs ticket beforehand, skip the line, and explore the roof. I pretended to be a gargoyle which amused / worried the other visitors.
Upvoted 1 day ago - Artyom FedosovJanuary 6, 2017Flamboyant gothic is marvelous. Climbing to the roof terrace is probably the best way to spend €7 in the whole city.

Wanita FourieSeptember 23, 2014Wow! If you are in Milano and don't see the Duomo you are crazy ;) 2E and you can take photos inside for personal use. Wear suitable clothes. Chest must be covered and dresses over knee. No shorts
Sander ZuurhoutJune 30, 2019Its mentioned everywhere (on ticket and in guidebooks) that you cannot wear shorts but we saw a lot of men wearing shorts with their knees visible. On a hot day we came fully dressed. Not necessary!
- RJuly 10, 2015Absolutely stunning architecture. The immense amount of detail that went into this place is astounding. 2 euros for basic access and the price goes up for there. A must visit.
Νεφελη Κ.October 26, 2019Truly a great experience. Reaching the top is a MUST. Its Great, amazing view and architecture. Pre book tickets or use the auto machines in the ticket area.
FrankApril 24, 2018The most beautiful building. Can never take enough photos of this amazing place. If you can take the lift up to the roof and have a walk around . The view is spectacular
M WApril 13, 2015Incredible views from the terraces, both of the city and the building itself. Walking up is very easy, and it's a good idea to buy a ticket in advance if planning on going at the weekends!
Amit GaharwarFebruary 16, 2016Grand architecture and fabulous facade. Most awesome part is to be able to reach the roof of the cathedral and enjoy the city views on a sunny day! Absolute must!
Denise SeïfAugust 16, 2014The architecture, the sculptures, breathtaking, the dimensions, every bit of this church has a story, glorious!
Fluying ✅July 27, 2022The church was built to hold 40,000 worshippers—the entire population of Milan when construction began and is the third-largest church in Europe (after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and Sevilla).
Liz NiezenMarch 17, 2019A must! Visit the rooftop and touch the beauty of its architectural details up close! Get your tickets online before you go. That way, you will not have to wait in line to enter.
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimAugust 25, 2016So scenic and dramatic it'll leave you out of words.. Absolutely loved it and the square is so vibrant it's just a must!
Marco PapaleFebruary 1, 2012The Duomo of Milan is an amazing sight. It's the third largest church in Christendom. To appreciate this beautiful cathedral in all its glory, take the lift to the roof!View of the Alps on a clear day
Grazyna OSeptember 3, 2014You feel the presens here. Magic. Very peaceful inside - could spend hours here. The roof top view is great on a sunny day:-) Magnificent building; both interior and exterior.
Beautiful Cathedral Duomo. You can visit the roof and terrace of this cathedral with nice view of Milano. Use stairs or elevator.
VeronikaNovember 12, 2017Cathedral is beautiful but on the square is so many homeless and people how are annoing with selling you every thing (food for pidgeons, selfiesticks, photos). You cant enjoy this place😔
Natalie KJune 17, 2018A true artwork built within six centuries with over three thousand statues placed on it and numerous tourists visiting it every day. Quite noisy and touristy.
Estela JiménezJanuary 31, 2015The entrace to Duomo is free. For terrace visit you hace to pay 7€ on foot or 12€ on elevator. It worths the views. On a sunshine day seat and relax at the top of the cathedral while sunbathing.
naveenNovember 6, 2012a favorite. mark twain puts it better than i can: "...so delicate, so airy, so graceful! a very world of solid weight, and yet it seems...a delusion of frostwork that might vanish with a breath."
AlekJanuary 9, 2017The view from the top is totally worth it, as long as you're okay with claustrophobic jostling along tight spiral staircases and catwalks to get there. Viva la Madonnina!
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨May 5, 2015One of the most mesmerizing cathedrals in the world. Took over 500 years to complete with architectural influence from different eras, which can still be appreciated.
Emel BayraktarSeptember 7, 2015Entrance fee is 2 € just for the cathedral. There are 5 ticket offices with long queues. It is really an enourmous structure with tons of detail.
DeeMay 4, 2013The most impressive cathedral in Italy! Seems like there's no end to those colomns inside and they just disappear in myst... As well as all the sounds. The whole atmosphere is really incredible!
Oleksii AntonenkoMay 9, 2017Wonderful cathedral, one of the few places you should definitely visit in Milan. It's fourth largest cathedral in the world!
Daniel VanderveldeOctober 7, 2020One of the most beautiful places in the world, nice area, good memories. You have to be here at least once in your life! 👌🏻😊
ArtemiJuly 19, 2015If you have to stay in a long queue for tickets on a hot day, choose the ticket office on the shady side of the Cathedral (left side if you are there before noon). You will save yourself some sweat.
Ελευθερία ZakoelSeptember 24, 2021It was amazing to be there . I make a project for my university school , and I wrote for Duomo. So beautiful!
- Miltos TrOctober 12, 2016One of the greatest churches in Europe. Must visit and you should go to the rooftop too. The view is wonderful.
Quentin LafonAugust 4, 2014Really amazing chuch ! Maybe the most iconic monument in Milano. You must climb to the top for a nice view of the city.
DanielAugust 10, 2014Beautiful building with a blending of architectural styles and an absolute must see when in Milan!
Stefan AlexandruFebruary 20, 2016Amazing architecture! This building is tall and offers you a great view over the city. It's a must to visit it while in Milan.
Fahad H.August 12, 2015Second time in Milano. This time my mobile shot off then I lost everything. I search for my car two hours. I like the area but I hate the guys with corns 😜 because they are layers
Füsun T.November 17, 2018Please note that Starbucks reserve is very close to Duomo. It is always attractive building for people.
- S CApril 19, 2016A magnificent cathedral and if you have time climb up to the roof and you can take a close look and feel of all the spires.
Sagayaraj IrudhayarajOctober 19, 2013Great architecture from 13th century. It's gigantic and we can't keep staring. Nice location with lots of shopping complex around
Shizette ParkerMay 4, 2015The entire piazza is bustling with activity and many things to see and do. La Rhinescente mall is nearby as well as food places like McDonalds.
Sam HDecember 11, 2016Worth paying for the "skip the line ticket" which meets 2:45pm most days. 1.5 hour tour with amazing rooftop views
DavidApril 22, 2015Architecture is impressive. Inside the monument is less spectacular. It is worth to visit anyhow.
Neal BaptisteJanuary 7, 2017Amazing architecture. Gothic and takes you back to medieval times. Intricate and spellbinding statues and sculptures
Michelin Travel & LifestyleJuly 18, 2013With its spires, pinnacles, gables and countless statues, this cathedral is most breathtaking when the afternoon sun shines on its white stone. – Green Guide Editor
Milano è TurismoSeptember 17, 2012A gigantic work in late Gothic style, it spreads out over a surface of 11,700 m2. From its 108 m. post, the statue of the Madonnina stands out, along with the pinnacles. http://tinyurl.com/9sh96xw
David ChungDecember 20, 20165th largest church in the world that took 500 years to complete building. A must-visit attraction in Milan other than shopping.
Maria BeliakovaAugust 6, 2017Entrance fee with elevator to the roof costs 16 EUR.Note the rules for visitors (clothes etc). Ticket office is located on right side from cathedral.
Emircan EryılmazJune 3, 2018It is the largest church in Italy and the third largest in the world. The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete.
