Combine Milan Cathedral – The Duomo with other Milan favorites. Some things are better together.
With your Milan Duomo tickets in your smartphone wallet you're guaranteed entry, and you can stay in this timeless landmark for as long as you like. If you want to really soak up the atmosphere, you should allow at least two hours, if not half a day. Remember, even if you bypass the ticket lines, you'll need to queue for the lift and stairs.
Of course, once you reach the roof terraces, you might be so mesmerized by Milan's magnificent cityscape that you lose track of time altogether.
Entry to the Duomo starts every day at 8 am, but it's best to arrive before that if you want to be one of the first to get inside. Flash your Milan Cathedral tickets then and you might have the roof to yourself for a while! The church itself stays open until 8 pm. The last admission up to the roof terraces is at 7 pm.
If you can, visit on a weekday. Weekdays are a lot more tranquil than weekends when all the tourists seem to descend at once.
There are lots of different ways to explore the Milan Duomo. Short on time? Just choose the Milan Duomo tickets with skip-the-line entry to the Cathedral only.
For more insight, opt for the Milan Duomo tickets that include a tour of the rooftops and archaeological area.
You can also opt for private tours, or for the photographers, it's a nice idea to get a Milan Duomo ticket to the rooftops only.
You can get a City Tour of Milan Audio Guide that covers 130+ points of interest in the city, plus high-quality visuals, descriptions, and audio commentaries by local experts. The Milan Duomo is covered as part of this great-value audio guide!

For an extra fee, you can download complete multimedia tours for the Cathedral, terraces, and museum.
While your Milan Cathedral tickets will get you inside, the condition is you dress appropriately. This means covered knees and no bare shoulders. Hats and sunglasses should be removed before entering.
Flash your Milan Duomo tickets and enter a world of stunning architecture and centuries-old atmospheric splendor. The roof of the Milan Duomo, also known as Milan Cathedral, is probably the best part.

Check out Milan's mish-mash of old towers and new skyscrapers, including the Unicredit building from new heights. If you visit on a clear day, you can even see the Alps! It's worth it just for the views.
