    Everything is spectacular. Everything is magnificent. The work itself is something incredible to imagine at the time it was conceived.

    The ticke5 was very readily available. Very smooth fast track and straight up to the rooftop o& the duomo . The cathedral is spectacular, views all over the city, lots of walking , it gets pretty high. If you have a fear of heights the roof can be daunting.

    Loved this tour. Not having a guide was a plus for us since we don't really care to have a guide telling us how long we can stay in a certain area before moving on. We got to see 360 degree views of the rooftop and found this to be one of the best experiences we've had in a all of Italy. Highly recommend the fast track ticket as we bypassed well over an hour or two hour wait in line. The views were fantastic and I can't say I've been on a church rooftop prior to this. Headout app was easy to use. The fast track line is on the opposite side of the regular line. Security can help guide you if you can't find it. You can see the queue in the attached photos. We took the elevator up then you climb several stairs to a higher level. The stairs were easy to climb but I'm sure would be slippery when wet. This ticket gave us access to the inside of the church as well which was well worth it.

    I bought the Cathedral Fast Track tickets with lift to terrace and I'm soooo glad I did! Saved tons of steps and time to be able to squeeze in other activities on our short trip to Milan. Great views and No issues! Thank you!

  • Discover Italy's largest Church

    Skip the long waiting queues and enter Milan Cathedral directly, where you can marvel at its stunning Gothic architecture, adorned with over 3,400 intricately carved statues and 135 soaring spires. Inside the cathedral, take some time to observe its architecture, including the vast nave featuring impressive vaults and columns and the stained glass windows that depict scenes from the Bible, bathing the interior with a kaleidoscope of colors.

    Treasures in the Cathedral Complex

    Don't miss the St. Charles Crypt, featuring silver foil panels that depict key moments from the life of St. Charles Borromeo, and the Cathedral Museum, which houses a collection of liturgical artifacts, sculptures, and architectural models. Then, make your way to the archaeological area below the cathedral and discover the remnants of ancient buildings. You can also explore the Church of San Gottardo, known for its stunning bell tower.

    Reach new heights

    Finish your visit by taking the lift to the terraces, where you can enjoy views of Milan’s skyline and the surrounding Alps. Skip the wait and head straight up to get a closer look at the statues on the terraces, including the golden Madonnina atop the main spire.
