Terrazze del Duomo

The highlight of your experience begins with a comfortable elevator ride, taking you directly to the rooftop of Italy's largest cathedral. Once at the top, you will be immersed in a forest of Candoglia marble: you will walk along the external walkways, surrounded by 135 intricately carved spires, hundreds of gargoyles in the shape of fantastic animals, and more than 3,000 statues. Led by our expert guide, you will discover the centuries-old history of this "eternal construction site" and get a close-up view of the famous Madonnina, the golden statue and symbol of Milan that watches over the city. But the spectacle doesn't end there. From the Terraces, you will enjoy a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Milan skyline, stretching from the modern districts of Porta Nuova and CityLife to historic landmarks and—on clear days—as far as the Alpine arc. It is the perfect moment to take unforgettable photographs and admire the city from a unique and privileged perspective.
