If you read up on Milan before a trip to the city, you will mainly find pictures of the Milan Cathedral. This imposing building is the landmark and the main attraction for all tourists. I think that’s right – a visit to the cathedral is simply part of a visit to Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you don’t want to buy a ticket online in advance, you need to be patient at the ticket counters. However, not at all ticket offices, as we quickly noticed. Behind the cathedral there are also 2 ticket offices that are hardly ever visited. Directly opposite is the lift that takes you up to the roof of the Duomo in Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk on the roof of Milan Cathedral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, that was the highlight of the cathedral visit for me.
We had to queue for about 15 minutes, then after a bag check and the security gate (like at the airport) we went into a small lift that holds about 8 people. This was operated by a young man and took us up to the roof of the cathedral in a few seconds. Up there is a small circular walk, which ends either by taking another lift or 200 steps. There is only the visiting time that restricts you in how long you can stay, otherwise you can stay here forever and enjoy the view over Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
