Milan Duomo Terraces Tour

Experience the breathtaking terraces of the Duomo, a must-do activity for anyone visiting Milan. This vantage point offers the most stunning views of Lombardy's capital and reveals some of the Cathedral's hidden gems.

Description

Visiting the Duomo's terraces is an unmissable part of your Milan adventure. To kick off this enthralling journey, we’ll gather at the iconic Piazza del Duomo at the scheduled time.

Upon arrival, we'll discuss the intricacies of the Cathedral's façade, a site brimming with charm and significance. Then, we'll conveniently ascend via elevator to the Duomo's summit, bypassing the arduous 200-step climb!

Before you know it, you'll find yourself soaking in one of the finest panoramic perspectives of Milan from this extraordinary location. Strolling along the Duomo's terraces, you’ll discover the many sculptures adorning it: did you realize it features 3,400 statues, 150 gargoyles, and 96 towering figures? You won't be able to miss them!

Along the way, marvel at the elaborately crafted spires, which reach about 17 meters (55 feet) in height and date back to the 18th century. This visit will be even more memorable as we gaze upon the statue of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, affectionately known as the Madonnina. It's said that she serves as the city's guardian.

From the terraces, you’ll also catch sights of Milan's most iconic landmarks, such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, San Siro Stadium, and Castello Sforzesco. Be sure to bring along your camera!

After an hour of guided exploration, we will conclude our tour back at the starting point. Arrivederci!
