Itinerary

1

Duomo Di Milano

Discover the Duomo, Milan’s most iconic landmark and the fifth-largest Gothic cathedral in the world. A "living monument" under construction since 1386, this architectural marvel is famous for its 135 spires, the sacred Holy Nail relic, and as the site of Napoleon’s 1805 coronation. Enjoy a personalized experience with an expert English-speaking guide and a maximum of only six guests. Skip the long lines and step directly into a vast interior supported by 52 massive pillars—one for every week of the year. Explore a world-record collection of 3,400 statues, including the famous St. Bartholomew and a hidden ancient sundial. Learn the secrets of the cathedral’s 700-year evolution, from the medieval canals dug to transport its marble to the complex symbolism hidden in its facade. Unlock the history and artistry of Milan’s crown jewel in just one hour.

Terrazze del Duomo

Your guided journey concludes at the elevator, where you will ascend to the rooftop for an independent exploration of the Duomo Terrace. Wander amidst a forest of marble spires and stand before the iconic golden Madonnina, the city’s 4-meter-tall protector. From this vantage point, enjoy breathtaking, panoramic views stretching across the Milanese skyline to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
