About Milan Cathedral (Duomo) and Rooftop Terraces

On the Duomo's terraces, you walk right alongside the spires and see details that the square below turns into tiny dots. The Madonnina is up there; down below, central Milan shows through the gaps in the stone. The façade suddenly takes on a different scale.

Split your visit between the interior and the roof, and check your ticket. Stairs and elevator are different options; taking the elevator does not remove every step along the route, so check accessibility before you book.
