Milan Duomo Terraces Tickets


Being able to admire a city from above has always had its particular charm. From the magnificent observatory of the Duomo's terraces you can explore Milan from a completely different point of view. You can reach the observation point that will take your breath away, by means of an elevator or by climbing the more than 200 steps that will take you to the top. From this vantage point you can admire the statues on the roof of the Duomo and the symbolic Madonnina.

Please read the information below to buy your ticket for direct entry to the terraces, avoiding queues at the ticket office but rather showing up at the visitor's entrance on the day and at the time of your choice.

What to see at the Cathedral's Terraces

The Duomo, with its white marble facade and gothic style, is undoubtedly the jewel and symbol of the city of Milan. What contributes to its beauty are undoubtedly the decorations, mostly in the part where the terraces are located. In fact, they include a very large part of the surface of the Duomo, to the point of being considered the biggest walkable roof on a cathedral in the world.

The roof is almost 65 metres high. Here you can take a stroll and take a close look at the decorations, statues and pinnacles that adorn it. Some are really monstrous and breathtaking, and others are even dedicated to sports figures!

If you look up, you can also admire the symbolic golden Madonnina even closer, a statue that all Milanese are particularly fond of because it is also visible from other parts of the city.

Useful Tips

Even if you do not enter directly into the cathedral, the terraces are also part of the Duomo complex and therefore visitors are asked to wear appropriate clothing. We recommend that you avoid shorts, mini-skirts, bare shoulders and legs. Take a sweater with you, even during the summer, which you can wear during your visit.

Cumbersome items such as prams, umbrellas, suitcases or bulky bags are not allowed inside the building, and since the Duomo does not have a luggage room, we recommend that you find a place to leave such items in advance.

In order to reach the terraces by stairs, there are 251 steps to climb. We suggest that you carefully evaluate your level of fitness when you buy your ticket and opt for the elevator ride if you think the stairs are not for you. We guarantee that both ways of climbing are very pleasant!

To reach the Duomo we recommend using public transport, stopping with the red M1 or yellow M3 metro line at the Duomo station. As soon as you leave the metro you will find yourself facing this majestic building that will leave you breathless. The visitors' entrance is on the left side of the Duomo. In the confirmation e-mail you will also receive instructions on where to go.
