The architecture was beautiful. And there was a sense of peace and tranquility while in the cathedral . The views from the roofs were very good as well. The only issue I had was no barcode when I tried to view tickets. The staff were very helpful and let me throughRobert

Easy and fun, remember to dress appropriately, one of my friend in my group got rejected for not wearing appropriate clothing. It was an amazing structure though there is some reconstruction but I understand, it's an old building after all need constant maintenance.

It's actually stunning at the top, obviously the building work dampens it slightly, but these things can't be helped

Really easy to find the meeting point the guides were really friendly. Plenty of time up in the terraces and out via the cathedral so got to see inside .James

Amazing views across the city, and the amount of incredibly intricate stonework around the terraces was incredible. Wasn't too many stairs as long as you're fit and healthy, it can be a bit slippy on the roof blocks though, so wear shoes with some grip! There's a penny press at the top too that takes 5c and 1Euro coins. Slightly annoying that lots of the stuff was under renovation, but you can still see plenty of it, and the views across the city make it worth it.
Walk the rooftop of Milan’s Duomo—Europe’s largest Gothic terrace—for sweeping city views, hidden stone carvings, and a close-up look at the iconic Madonnina.
