Getting up to the terraces was a good experience. There was a big line going down because people were taking photos on the stair. Good view and the cathedral was very beautiful

Hundreds of architects, sculptors and artists worked on the creation of the cathedral, including such masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante.

I love this cathedral, it's just a masterpiece. And what a delicate one 😍 Be sure to buy a ticket to the roof of the cathedral - these Googles and views of the city are a delight😍
Get up (if possible) when it's light and sunny, and wait for sunset and evening - it's very beautiful!
Exit back through the cathedral itself. Therefore, inside, though limited to the side, you will also visit)
And there are wonderful stained glass windows on the walls of the cathedral. I didn't even notice it before.
In addition, there are 3 inexpensive super places near the Duomo:
1) Coffee with croissants 🥐 and a view of the Duomo 😍 entrance Motta Milano 1928.
2) Cesarino Bar, where they sell aperol/campari spritz for 4.5€ 🥃 and very tasty sandwiches.
3) Granaio Duomo Restaurant - we took gelato to take away🍦

Milan Cathedral is amazing! Although it is made in the flaming Gothic style, it differs in structure and architecture from the cathedrals of northern Europe. You can climb up to the roof and see up close the many statues in the roof decoration. In November, there were a lot of tourists and long queues, so it was not possible to get inside and onto the roof. But its detail from the outside is even more interesting . And pay attention to the cathedral's masterpiece gates.

The stunning beauty and architecture of the cathedral in the historical center of Milan! It is made in the style of flaming Gothic! Every detail is fascinating! REQUIRED TO VISIT! From year to year I look at the cathedral with admiration! It is impossible to get used to and stop being surprised! Incredible scale! It is very convenient to get there, the nearest metro station (10 meters from the cathedral) is DUOMO! Entrance to the cathedral is paid, all envy depends on what you want to see! Ticket prices per person are something from 12 to 30 €. There are discounts on family or group tickets. A ticket can be purchased to the right of the entrance to the cathedral, in another building. There is usually a queue, from 5 minutes to an hour - allocate time. I advise you to go up to the roof, it takes your breath away from the height and beauty! It is from the roof that you can see the details of the cathedral and a little bit of Milan! Going down from the roof (even if you bought a ticket only to the roof) you get into the cathedral, the stairs go not to the street, but to the cathedral, so you can save money and see part of the cathedral inside without buying a ticket to the cathedral itself. But if you want to explore all the details, see the cathedral in full and go down under the cathedral (there are ruins of the old basilica from which it all began) - it's better to buy a shared ticket and enjoy the art! Spend less than 1.5 hours on general viewing! Have a nice time!

Milan Cathedral is the only architectural structure that has impressed my child to date. Beauty is difficult to describe . The best thing, if physics permits, is to climb to the top of the stairs, take a walk there, then walk around Duomo Square, feed the pigeons, and sit in cafes.

It is very interesting on the roof of the cathedral. In sunny weather, a beautiful view of the city. A lot of people were sitting on the roof, enjoying the views. The Crypt and Archaeological excavations in the cathedral were the most striking (you need to buy separate tickets or a complex one). The view of the cathedral is very interesting after the rain or when it rains, in the evening, the illumination and the cathedral are reflected on the surface of the wet square.

Milan is the second largest city in Italy. In general, the city is proletarian. The cathedral is interesting in the style of the flaming Gothic. The square is dotted with restaurants and cafes around the perimeter and a gallery of boutiques of the first line of global fashion brands. Nicely. But we had enough for two days. There's nothing else to watch. But it was so beautiful - it impressed me. In Sable, Napoleon was crowned king of Italy.

The Gothic is incredibly beautiful. Thousands of carved figures embedded in the columns, even where they are not visible from the street, but only being on the roof, give an idea of the painstaking design of the entire structure.
There is a view of Milan from above.
The dimensions inside are impressive. Excellent acoustics! If you are lucky enough to hear singing, the visitor will hear live how this acoustics sounds.

The Duomo Square is simply magnificent!!! I come to Milan every year! I really love this place!!! There are many shops and cafes nearby for every taste and budget, there are many 3-4-5 * hotels nearby.The Renoshente shopping center is located in not mediocre proximity.On the top floor of the store there is a cafe (there is a panoramic view of the Duomo Cathedral) and a grocery store with a wine department., on the 6th floor of the shopping center there is a tax-free refund.Russians are not issued, but if you say that you live in another country, you will be issued at customs, too, there will be no problems!)There is a parking lot next to the store.

It's a beauty! I highly recommend visiting the cathedral itself and going upstairs (by elevator or on foot). In very clear weather, you can make out the outlines of the mountains. A lacy, magical, very beautiful temple, one of the most beautiful that I have seen. Interestingly, in the la Rinascente shopping center opposite Duomo there is a cafe on the top floor overlooking the lace of the cathedral, it is nice to have a snack in it, there was a terrace in the warmer months. Within walking distance from the cathedral is the Victor Emmanuel Gallery, an indoor passage with a beautiful dome and fashionable boutiques. Under the dome is a place where people make wishes. This is the second such passage in Europe after the Queen's Passage in Brussels. Through it you can access the La Scala Theater.

To see Milan and... not to see the Duomo of Milan means not to see one of the man-made wonders of the world! The largest temple of the flaming Gothic impresses not only with the beauty of its forms, scale, but also with its history of long-term construction (from the 14th to the 19th century inclusive). You must visit the roof of the temple and the Duomo Museum, which holds many artifacts. To realize the significance and immerse yourself in the atmosphere, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the YouTube channel of the cathedral, which shows live broadcasts of services, concerts and scientific conferences that regularly take place under its arches.

The majestic Cathedral, the symbol of the city, the construction of which lasted 5 centuries, amazes and delights with its size and structure! Duomo Square, quite rightly has the name: "the pulsating heart of Milan"
There is a unique atmosphere here that fills, inspires and surprises with all its beauty

What kind of reviews are there? Beautiful, majestic, grandiose! The ideal option is to buy tickets in advance online, but if this is not possible, it is better to come in the morning, otherwise you may not get to the roof (or buy tickets the next day) The combined ticket "Roof-Cathedral-Museum" costs 25 euros, it's worth it!

Milan Cathedral... Perfectly! Wonderful! Indescribable!
He is beautiful, unusual, majestic, powerful!
And how it is decorated, how many details, you can look at it for hours.
It is also worth going inside, I will not describe everything, as it is worth seeing with your own eyes and feeling these emotions yourself.

Every time you experience delight and awe, looking at the cathedral dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. A lace miracle made entirely of white marble, and this is unique: there is no other such thing in Europe. You can visit with a guided tour or just go in and light a candle. The views from the observation deck are a special pleasure. Despite the regular increase in the entrance fee, there are always a lot of tourists.

A must-visit. Well, it's strange if you're in Milan and you don't get there. You can buy tickets on the spot, I did not notice any savings with the site. The cash registers are on the right if you are facing. The entrance to the colonnade is on the left. The descent from it to the cathedral, just you can wander. Visiting individual exhibitions for a fee

Milan Cathedral is an architectural marvel. From the outside, it impresses with details, from the inside — with grandeur. Climbing to the roof is a must: the views of the city and the spires are impressive. There may be queues, but the experience is worth it.

It's just an incredible tale in stone. Bas-reliefs, statues, stained glass windows - the feeling is fantastic. There are a lot of people around, even out of season. But the building does not notice this, it rises majestically, frozen for centuries in its dazzling, unearthly beauty

Beautiful, however, like everything in Italy. Expensive and generally ordinary inside. I recommend taking only the ascent to the roof, then the exit to the cathedral itself, and in general this is quite enough.
