Milan: Duomo, Galleria, Brera, & Pizza Tasting Private Tour

Discover Milan’s iconic landmarks with a private guide, including skip-the-line access to Duomo Cathedral and rooftop, plus pizza tasting.

This private 3-hour guided tour covers Milan’s most significant sights, revealing their historical and cultural importance. Experience Italian culture firsthand with a pizza tasting at one of the city’s top pizzerias.

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.
