With this tour you will have the chance to have a guided visit of the Cathedral, with accesso to the terraces on top of it.

Experience the gothic beauty of the Milan Cathedral

The Milan Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Truly an outstanding display of a world that has come and gone, the mighty splendor of the Milan Cathedral is awe inspiring.
You will explore the ins and outs of the Cathedral, as well as experience the wondrous vistas offered on the terraces on top of it during this guided tour.
While the Cathedral is open to the public, this tour allows guided visit to the interior of the cathedral. You will have time to experience the elegant, almost surreal beauty of the Milan Cathedral

Learn about the curiosities of the Cathedral's history

Such an important piece of history does have its oddities. The history you will learn from your licensed, English-speaking guide is history not found in any textbook.
You will learn about some curious oddities of the Cathedral, including everything from the Sundial Trail, to the Ritual of the Holy Nail, to the story of the Apostle who was skinned alive, and much more.
During times when the cathedral is closed for services or special events, our next stop takes us to the Museo del Duomo, situated within the Royal Palace. This museum beautifully narrates the story of the Cathedral, displaying its artistry through various works, models, drawings, and documents. A highlight of the visit is the Sala delle Colonne, once home to the ancient Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo. Prepare to be amazed by the magnificence of these historic structures, which hold the secrets of one of Italy's most significant cities. After the event, you'll have the opportunity to explore inside the cathedral (included in your ticket).

View the entire city of Milan at your feet on top of the Cathedral

After admiring the classical splendor and reverent atmosphere in the interior, you will be guided to the elevator that will take you up more than 90 meters (300 feet) to experience the full glory of Milan.
The panorama of the city will truly inspire awe and will take your breath away. You will have plenty of time to take pictures of the city, the skyscrapers, and the classical skyline of the city.
Next on our itinerary, we'll discover the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This impressive commercial arcade is located in the heart of Milan's historic center, linking the Duomo area with La Scala theater and the Teatro Museum. The Galleria is renowned for its upscale shops and stylish boutiques, housed within a neo-Renaissance structure that has earned it the nickname "Milan's drawing room." Moreover, it stands as a prominent example of European iron architecture and is recognized as one of the world's earliest shopping malls ever built.
