We arrived at Duomo Cathedral, our breath was taken away. It is a beautiful building with an awful lot to look at. You must have your shoulders covered to enter inside the cathedral. The best part of this visit was climbing the stairs to the roof. There are I think 150 steps up or you can get the lift for... more

This is by far the best thing to do and see in Milan. The Duomo is beautiful and wonderful in its own right. However I don't think there is anywhere else in the world where you can wonder around on the roof of a fabulous building such as this! I would thoroughly recommend to those who have no issue with... more

While I was out in Milan we visited the Duomo, it was absolutely beautiful. For the ladies, if you wish to go inside the Duomo, you have to cover up your shoulders and not have too much of your legs showing, otherwise you won't be able to go in. I would definitely recommend visitors to climb to the top of... more

We head into the Duomo around 10am-ish. No security, we stare, we gawk. The outside is so light – shades of pink marble, recently cleaned. The inside is incredibly dark. Natural light is only from the stained glass windows. The entire middle is portioned off and portioned like a restaurant since – apparently – a mass was going on –... more

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
