Pro tips to help you make a pick
For a full cultural and historical experience at Milan's Duomo, opt for the Duomo Pass. This pass allows single entry within 72 hours to the Cathedral, the Duomo Museum, San Gottardo Church, and the Archaeological Area.
Children aged 6 and under, people with disabilities and their helpers, uniformed military personnel, and tour guides on duty can get in for free. If you’re a child between 6 and 12, or part of a religious or school group, you can grab a discounted ticket.
It's a good idea to book your tickets online ahead of time. This will save you time and guarantee your spot, especially during busy tourist seasons when the lines can get really long.
Combine your Duomo visit with nearby attractions like Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, La Scala Opera House, or Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper.

About Duomo di Milano
Milan's grandiose Gothic cathedral, 600 years in the making, is a vision in Candoglia marble that fittingly symbolizes the city's uniqueness and aspiration. During the time of its conception, the design and execution were considered to be unworkable. Centuries later, the result is there for tourists to behold. Its pearly white exterior, with 135 towers and 3400 statues, rises like the embroidery of a fairy-tale crown, mesmerizing audiences with its lavish detail. If you’re planning to visit, here’s everything you need to know about Duomo Milan tickets, timings, getting there, and more.
The Protective Madonnina: Perched atop the Duomo since 1774, the Madonnina guards Milan with a hidden weapon—she conceals a lightning rod within her Halberd, protecting herself from the elements.
Centuries in the Making: Construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1386 and concluded in the 19th century. Adorned with 34,000 statues, 135 spires, and 55 stained glass windows, the Duomo showcases centuries of craftsmanship and artistry.
Archaeological Treasures: Beneath the Duomo lie ancient ruins dating back to Roman times. The archaeological section reveals remnants of two churches and a baptistery, providing glimpses into Milan's rich history.
