The tour begins at Piazza Duomo, where you’ll admire the largest Gothic cathedral in Italy. With pre-booked skip-the-line tickets, take the elevator to the Duomo rooftop terrace for a panoramic 360-degree view of Milan before entering the cathedral itself.

The Duomo holds a capacity of 40,000 people and is the fourth largest church worldwide. Learn about the unique rooftop statues, including the boxer Primo Carnera, a pigeon, a tennis racquet, and a statue that inspired New York’s Statue of Liberty. Discover the 1930s Milan law limiting building heights to the cathedral’s top, and how it was sometimes ignored.

Next, visit the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, built in the 19th century to symbolize Milan’s modernization and connect La Scala and Piazza Duomo. The elegant glass-roofed gallery features luxury boutiques and renowned restaurants.

Proceed to Piazza della Scala to view the world-famous opera and ballet theater from outside. The tour concludes with a stroll through Piazza Cordusio and Via Dante to the Brera district, where you will enjoy authentic pizza tasting.
