DanielAugust 10, 2014Great place to start your visit to Milan with it being close to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Duomo di Milano, Teatro della Scala, Museo del Novecento, and many other places!
Upvoted Sep 18- Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016Great, gorgeous, gothic architecture that is breathtaking. The crowd seems unavoidable but adds to the liveliness of the place as do the pigeons. Tip: some great music performances on streets nearby.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Levent ErtogluNovember 13, 2016The one and only center of milano. Enjoy the great view of cathedral, royal palace and vittorio emanuelle gallery. Beware of the crowd

OnFeature TeamNovember 4, 2016The main piazza of Milan. Always teeming with people because of social or cultural events, the Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, or restaurants where you can enjoy the view of the Duomo.

Ish RaiApril 18, 2017Amazing architecture, so much beautiful detail, it's actually a complete piece of art. Inside the cathedral its simple stunning and peaceful.
Take the Metro. Fastest option from Milano Centrale, 11 minutes. Duomo station on the M3 line. 4th stop. Best buy online: https://ticket.duomomilano.it/en/ or risk standing in a 🐍line in the heat
Otel.comSeptember 19, 2011Milan's main cathedra at piazza del Duomo. After taking photos of the façade and the details, go up the roof to get a great city view. Took 500 years to build, so you’re sure to be so impressed!
Foodtraveler_theworldMarch 5, 2023Amazing iconic tourist attraction of Milan, Italy and definitely for the world. However, you need to come so early or weekday to avoid the crowd. Weekend especially Saturday evening is not the right.
ShiaJuly 18, 2016The everyday stop to admire people, the Duomo, the cafes next to it and have an aperitivo on the terraces! 💛 of Milan- Alicia Taylor-BenderMay 7, 2013Such a beautiful place to visit in Milan! I go as often as I possibly can...I even love all the darned pigeons...they're cute♥
LinaFebruary 11, 2016Breathtaking architecture. Nice coffee shops around. Sit, have coffee & relax💆🏻☕️
I BAugust 12, 2021Always full of people, but any trip to Milan must take in the piazza del duomo. The beating heart of the city!
Jimmy ChrabiehAugust 22, 2013Duomo, A great Milan wonder. Beautiful inside out! Walk towards the stained glass before the end on your right check st Bartholomew skin statue. The saint that had his skin removed. One of a kind!
Piazza del Duomo is a must-see, great to visit around sunset. Avoid going there on weekends – it gets very crowded.
FerasMarch 19, 2015The centre of milano, the midpoint of the main shopping district. Shop till you drop !
David ChungDecember 20, 2016A plaza where you can hang around and chill out, while having a great view on Milan cathedral and also Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Beware of your surroundings though.
Yiannis PapasavvasMarch 24, 2015Great New look after years of cleaning you can now enjoy the Cathedral. Watch the world go by,shop till you drop grap gellato and espresso at near by cafes and be be beware of pickpockets.
Daniel EverettDecember 21, 2015Winter or summer, just amazing (except for the advertising on either side 😡)
- emi niumiJanuary 6, 2016After one year is still nice to come back to this place. Duomo is amazing both from outside and inside. It is worth to waiting in queue of touriat to see it.
Gabi BulumacFebruary 2, 2015From here you can start visit Milano 😜 it's the ❤️ of the city 👍 Relax .....take some pictures and enjoy this wonderful city 😎
Marwan MzAugust 12, 2017Wide area for taking a pictures .. if you are interested in the old church and the roof top ..then be prepared for a long lines
Ethel AgelatouSeptember 5, 2016I felt so small, realizing what humans can build. The greatest monument I've ever visited...
Mads EriksenApril 20, 2017Pigeons everywhere. Fools feeding them there too. Lovely view of the Duomo here. Be aware and stay clear of the people who try to give you a 'regalo'. They don't mean well at all.
Zeenab JawadOctober 29, 2019Many brands you will find here in shop area but I don’t like it much its good to stay few days only and yeah very expensive price of barking special inside milan
Sara PezziniJanuary 23, 2013Main monument in milan(1368-1892) Gothic style.You can vist the top but entrance fee to access the roof (not for the church). "o mia béla madunina" is a typical song talking about the golden statue.
Grazyna OSeptember 12, 2014Nice square. It would be perfect if you could be yourself and relax here but as soon as you do someone approaches you and wants to sell you some crap.
Fekete AnnamáriaAugust 10, 2014Most beautiful place of Milano. The dom is breathtaking and the atmosphere is nice. :) bevare of african bracelet sellers !!
Andreea BksOctober 11, 2015Where you should be first if you are in Milano! Just amazing to relax, make new friends, photos.
Jos JonesJanuary 15, 2019Beautiful architecture- go just to have a look! Lots of high end shops and over priced restaurants.
Sean RobertsonOctober 12, 2017The dome is worth the climb. Good early for less crowds. Simple to buy tickets online
Charles EdgeFebruary 11, 2012Hanging around out front of the Duomo, try not to kick any pigeons or get ripped off by street people. Or get the full experience and do it all on purpose!
EDRJuly 16, 2015To me this is the most beautiful thing you'll see in Milan. The beauty of the Duomo is in its outside.
Joe CooperApril 21, 2019Real busy. Too busy. But totally worth the crowds. The view is great on all sides. Beware of folks trying to get you to feed the birds (they’re going to ask you for $$$).
Jamie BarnardDecember 7, 2019The big Jesus house is amazing at night. We went at Christmas so lights were amazing.
ZegnaJune 9, 2011Your first stop in the city of fashion. Take a photo of the magnificent view and head left to via Monte Napoleone to enjoy the high-end fashion boutiques. The Zegna Global Store is located at 27/e.
Greta DalyaprakSeptember 21, 2018For sure must place to visit once you in Italy! But the big reklama posters on Duomo were so disturbing!!!
Malek AlmutairiAugust 29, 2016A must visit for a trip to Italy. It's a staple for anyone who wants ti see the what this country can do🇮🇹
Dan Mondragón SomeraNovember 20, 2019Super crowded but it is nice to walk around it and see the nearby alleys

Saad M ™August 15, 2016I don't recommend children to enter the church, there showing priest's bodies dead from hundreds some thousand years ago imagine how there body looks like 💀💀
Once you've seen the cathedral here that has them pretty well covered. Magnificent
Historic Piazza,centre of the fashion city.Lovely architecture of Duomo.Shopping is easy around the place.
Stefan AlexandruFebruary 20, 2016A beautiful cathedral, many pigeons, people eating gelato, many stores... A great place to visit!
Spicy aliFebruary 20, 2013Any trip to Milan has to include a tour of this, the 4th largest Cathedral in Europe. If you have a head for heights why not take the rooftop tour?
