Overview

If you are looking for the must-see symbols of Milan, you are in the right place: the Milan Cathedral (Duomo) and the Sforza Castle.

Enjoy an expert-led half-day guided tour through the city’s historic heart. This experience is fully inclusive of Duomo tickets, Terrace (Rooftop) access, and Sforza Castle entrance fees.

Let our official guide lead you through the enchanting history of the Duomo Complex, where mosaics, vibrant stained-glass windows, and marble statues come to life. The journey continues just a short walk away at the Sforza Castle, home to Michelangelo’s final masterpiece: the Pietà Rondanini. Created when the artist was 89 years old, just days before his death, this sculpture is one of the most moving works in art history.

But there is more! You will also discover the fascinating stories of Leonardo da Vinci and his legacy within the Castle walls. Join us for a deep dive into the lives of the two greatest geniuses of the Italian Renaissance.

Terrazze del Duomo

The highlight of your experience begins with a comfortable elevator ride, taking you directly to the rooftop of Italy's largest cathedral. Once at the top, you will be immersed in a forest of Candoglia marble: you will walk along the external walkways, surrounded by 135 intricately carved spires, hundreds of gargoyles in the shape of fantastic animals, and more than 3,000 statues.Led by our expert guide, you will discover the centuries-old history of this "eternal construction site" and get a close-up view of the famous Madonnina, the golden statue and symbol of Milan that watches over the city.But the spectacle doesn't end there. From the Terraces, you will enjoy a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Milan skyline, stretching from the modern districts of Porta Nuova and CityLife to historic landmarks and—on clear days—as far as the Alpine arc. It is the perfect moment to take unforgettable photographs and admire the city from a unique and privileged perspective.
