Milan’s Cathedral, or Duomo, is a much-loved symbol of the city. The most exuberant example of Northern Gothic in Italy, its spiky spires and towers dominate Piazza del Duomo, Milan’s beating heart.
The Duomo’s exterior is an upwardly thrusting collection of pinnacles, elongated statues and buttresses. The central spire is topped by a gilt statue of the Madonna, called the Madonnina.
Inside one of the world’s largest churches, it takes a few moments for your eyes to adjust to the candle-lit ambiance as you take in the cathedral’s nave, altars, aisles and stained-glass windows.
One of the highlights of a visit to the cathedral is the view from the roof – on a clear day you can see the Italian Alps. Take the steps if you’re fit (or the lift if you’re not) to peer over the city of Milan, surrounded by statues and spiky towers.

The city tour was great with a good guide. able to see the duomo inside and out although, you can just get in on your own. The la scala is beautiful but its better if you go there with a concert playing. I just got this tour bec of the last supper tickets. I cant get the ticket with my time, with this tour, ill be able to fit it in my schedule. Youll go to the last supper and just sit down starring at the painting for 15 minutes with the guide telling a story about the painting.
