Getting started
Your visit begins at the Milan Cathedral entrance. Depending on your ticket, you can choose to climb 250 stairs or take the lift to reach the terraces. For a faster experience, skip-the-line access allows you to bypass the queues and head straight up to the rooftop.
What to expect
Gain access to the cathedral’s stunning rooftop terraces—the largest walkable Gothic roof in the world—and take in unmatched views of Milan from above. Whether you ascend by stairs or lift, this experience offers a remarkable perspective on both the cathedral and the city.
Features
