We ask both men and women to cover knees and shoulders, otherwise security might refuse entry to religious sites and you’ll miss out on a portion of your tour. We understand the summers in Milan can be hot, so a great alternative is to bring a shawl/scarf/sweater with you. That way you can cover your knees and shoulders when necessary.

Milan’s Duomo Cathedral

Your journey begins in the very heart of Milan — Duomo Square — right in front of the city’s most iconic landmark: the awe-inspiring Duomo Cathedral. As the largest church in Italy and one of the largest in the world, the Duomo is the perfect starting point for anyone visiting Milan. With skip-the-line access, you’ll avoid the long queues and step straight into centuries of history and beauty.

Inside, your expert monolingual guide will bring the cathedral to life, sharing its enchanting 600-year story. As you walk through the grand nave, marvel at magnificent mosaics, vibrant stained-glass windows, and stunning sculptures — each with its own tale to tell. Learn about the immense effort and intricate craftsmanship behind every detail, from the soaring vaults to the thousands of statues that adorn the interior. Discover some of the cathedral's hidden secrets, including the curious mystery of how many spires crown the rooftop and the stories of the historical figures who once walked its sacred halls.

The Duomo Terraces

The experience continues as your guide leads you to one of the Duomo’s most breathtaking features — the rooftop terraces. From here, you’ll witness the external splendor of the cathedral up close: the forest of white marble spires, ornate pinnacles, and flying buttresses that make the Duomo unlike any other cathedral in the world. As you stand above the rooftops of Milan, take in the sweeping panoramic views of the city skyline — perfect for snapping unforgettable photos. On clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of the distant Alps. This is a truly magical way to end your visit, surrounded by gothic beauty, high above the buzzing streets of Milan.

An Immersive Cultural Experience

This 2-hour guided tour offers more than just a visit — it’s an immersive dive into Milan’s artistic, architectural, and cultural heart. With included entry tickets to both the cathedral and rooftop, as well as personal headphones for groups over six, you won’t miss a single detail. Your small-group experience ensures a more personal connection with your expert guide, who will make every statue and stained-glass story come alive.

The tour concludes back at the original meeting point in Duomo Square, right in front of the cathedral — the perfect spot to reflect on your unforgettable experience and perhaps snap one last photo of Milan’s most iconic masterpiece.
