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.

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

  • Terrace views: Enjoy panoramic views over Milan’s skyline. From this elevated vantage point, you can spot landmarks like Sforza Castle, the Duomo’s 135 spires, and the iconic Madonnina statue atop the Tiburio.

  • Candoglia marble forest: Wander through the cathedral’s “stone forest” of intricate spires and pinnacles, carved from signature pink-hued Candoglia marble. Keep an eye out for curious details in the stonework—like Dante’s face, an icepick, a rope, and more.
