Outside, the Duomo Cattedrale is an amazing and complex art work. Inside, seems sober and simple but impressive thou'. The apreciated free entrance implies a simple payment ... respect and humility. Please dress and behave properly, let silence be the only thing noticed inside. Climbing to the top is certainly a must do, by stairs (recommended for its symbolism) or... more

As an International Flight Attendant I am use to seeing beauty around the world, but the Duomo Cathedral was a WOW!! And as others have said... "Go to the roof"!! The views are incredible and the details in the architecture are surreal! I was fortunate to be there during Mass, as well, and although I am not Catholic, it was... more

On a whim, I decided to make a stop-over in Milan enroute to India. With no information on the city, I made my way to the center of town and of course came across the famous Cathedral. While the inside was rather drab and boring, I quickly came to realize that you could climb to the top of the cathedral... more

A must at the Duomo is a visit to the roof. Walk up the stairs(€4) or take the lift (€6) and you'll be able to walk all around the roof of the Cathedral (quite safely) and view at close hand the fabulous stone towers of which there are many. The interior of the Duomo, by comparison, is dull. There are... more

I finally made it to the Cathedral and was not disappointed (I already knew the front is covered in Scaffolding). Stunning!. The pink marble, the spires, the statues and that is only the outside. The inside is also breathtaking. I spent a great deal of time walking around the interior of the Cathedral. I rented the self guided headsets and... more

This is a great thing to do on a clear day, worth paying for the lift and don't forget your camera. We took lots of beautiful photos. more

We saw a lot of churches in Italy, and the Duomo in Milan was by far my favorite and the most beautiful. But it also left me heartbroken: the front facade of the church is still under wraps for renovation. After seeing the rest of the church and the piazza, you just know that there's a masterpiece behind all the... more

If you are in Milan then you will definately be passing by the Duomo. This is the true center of the city, and the immediate area around it is very lively, full of shops, restaurants and things to do, so it is definately a must see when you visit milan. When we first turned around the corner and saw it... more

Visited Milan and the highlight was the cathedral. It's pretty good inside, but the highlight was the roof: use the lift (5 euro) or go for the full experience by climbing the stairs (3.50 euro) but when you get up there, not only do you get a great view, but you can climb around and in and out of the... more
