"Great experience do not miss if you are in Milan. Only criticism is that we did not get our headphones. Staff didn’t supply and then when we tried to get them we needed to leave a passport or driving licence of which we had neither."

Duomo di Milano
Which Duomo Rooftop Ticket to Buy
The five options of the Cathedral and terraces ticket, the tickets for one half of the visit, the Cathedral's own prices, the lift, getting in, and where the cathedral is.
A Duomo rooftop ticket usually comes with the Cathedral. On GetYourGuide, the Veneranda Fabbrica Duomo di Milano’s Cathedral and Duomo’s Terraces Entrance Ticket costs US$29.94 per adult by stairs and US$36.60 by lift, for December 2026 and January 2027 dates read in November 2026, and it cannot be refunded. The Cathedral’s own shop sells the same pairing in euros: €22 by stairs and €26 by lift, full price, on 12 November 2026. Whichever you buy, the lift stops at the first level of the terraces, and you go up before you go into the Cathedral.
People search for it as the Duomo roof, the Milan Cathedral rooftop, the Milan Duomo terraces or the Duomo di Milano rooftop. It is all one place: the marble walkways on top of the cathedral, with 135 spires around you, by the Cathedral’s own count.
Duomo Terraces Tickets: Five Options on One Ticket
The ticket sells five ways up. Each option has its own price and its own address on Piazza del Duomo, where you start.
| Option | Price per adult | What it adds | Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cathedral & Terraces by Stairs | US$29.94 | The terraces on foot, then the Cathedral | P.za del Duomo, 32 |
| Cathedral & Terraces by Elevator | US$36.60 | The lift up; the way down is the stairs | P.za del Duomo, 22 |
| Cathedral & Terraces by Stairs with Audio Guide | US$38.26 | An English audio guide, collected at the group ticket office | P.za del Duomo, 7 |
| Fast Track Access Ticket to Terraces & Cathedral | US$44.36 | A dedicated lift and priority access to the terraces at the booked time; marked valid 2 days, but only the Duomo Museum may be visited the next day | P.za del Duomo, 16 |
| Cathedral & Terraces by Elevator with Audio Guide | US$44.92 | The lift and an English audio guide | P.za del Duomo, 7 |
Prices on GetYourGuide for 4 December 2026 and 8 January 2027, read on 12 November 2026. Two adults paid exactly twice on every option.
The fast-track option was unavailable on every January 2027 date read in November 2026 (8, 13, 15 and 27 January), while the other four were on sale; for 12 February 2027 the calendar had not opened yet. All five are non-refundable, so book a date you are sure of.
Milan Cathedral Rooftop Ticket: Lift or Stairs
Fit and not in a hurry
Cathedral & Terraces by Stairs
The cheapest way up: 251 steps by the Cathedral's count, then the Cathedral. Not for anyone with mobility problems or a fear of heights.
Check dates →Save your legs
Cathedral & Terraces by Elevator
The lift to the first level of the terraces. The top terrace and the whole way down are still stairs.
See the lift option →Short on time
Fast Track Access Ticket to Terraces & Cathedral
A dedicated lift and priority access to the terraces at the time you book. Unavailable on every January 2027 date read in November 2026.
See the fast track →Prices, ratings and review counts from the listing (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Prices change by date, so treat them as the shape of the market, not a quote.
The lift saves the climb up, not the climb down. The Cathedral’s ticket shop puts it plainly: tickets with the lift go to the first level only, and the second level of the terraces and the descent are by stairs. The terraces page gives the first level at about 31 metres and the Central Terrace at 45 metres, reached by two steep stairways. A Brazilian visitor wrote on 12 November 2026 that “there really are a lot of stairs to climb, so it’s worth paying extra to go up by elevator” (review translated on GetYourGuide).
The Duomo Roof Without the Cathedral, or the Reverse
Two other tickets from the same seller split the visit. Milan Cathedral: Terraces Ticket - Cathedral Access Excluded (Veneranda Fabbrica Duomo di Milano) is the rooftop alone: US$21.63 per adult by stairs, US$25.51 by lift and US$38.82 by the fast-track lift (checked November 2026). Milan Cathedral Direct Entrance - Terrace Excluded (Veneranda Fabbrica Duomo di Milano) is the inside without the rooftop; on Wednesdays, when the Duomo Museum is closed, it sells a “Cathedral Only” option at US$13.86 per adult (9 and 16 December 2026, 13 January 2027); on the other days the cheapest option is the Cathedral with the Duomo Museum at US$16.08 (4 and 10 December 2026, 8 January 2027). Both are non-refundable. The terraces-only ticket suits a second trip up; for a first visit, the Cathedral and terraces ticket covers both from US$29.94.
Duomo di Milano Rooftop Tickets from the Cathedral’s Own Shop
The Cathedral sells its own tickets at ticket.duomomilano.it and at its ticket office, the DuomoInfopoint in the Sala delle Colonne, Piazza Duomo 14/A. These were its full prices on 12 November 2026:
| The Cathedral’s ticket | Full price | Reduced |
|---|---|---|
| Terraces, by stairs | €16 | €8 |
| Terraces, by lift | €18 | €9 |
| Fast-Track Terraces (lift) | €28 | €14 |
| Duomo and Terraces, by stairs | €22 | €11 |
| Duomo and Terraces, by lift | €26 | €13 |
| Fast-Track Pass: terraces by lift, Duomo, Duomo Museum, Archaeological Area, St Charles Crypt | €32 | €16 |
The shop’s “Duomo and Terraces” tickets are the same pairing as the GetYourGuide ticket above: the Cathedral and the terraces. The difference is the checkout. GetYourGuide sells it in dollars, with the five options side by side on one calendar; the Cathedral sells it in euros, with reduced prices for the visitors its concessions page lists. Look at both for your date. Duomo rooftop ticket prices sets every figure out, and Milan Duomo tickets covers the tickets without the rooftop.
Getting In
Go to the address of the option you booked, with a passport or ID card. Everyone passes a security check, and bags may be searched; luggage and large bags are not let in. The visit starts on the terraces at the booked time, and only afterwards do you go into the Cathedral, on the same ticket. A visitor from the United Kingdom wrote on 2 November 2026: “We didn’t realise initially that you need to start by going up on the terraces and then inside the cathedral afterwards.”
Dress for the Cathedral before you climb, since it comes after the terraces: the Cathedral’s rules allow no sleeveless or low-cut tops, shorts, miniskirts or hats inside, and ask for comfortable shoes on the terraces. The Duomo rooftop entrance has each option’s start point and the audio-guide desk, and the Milan Duomo dress code the full rules.
The rooftop itself, the views from it and the guided visits are covered in depth at milanduomorooftop.com.
Where the Duomo di Milano Is
The Duomo di Milano stands on Piazza del Duomo, 20122 Milano, in the middle of the city. Duomo metro station, on lines M1 and M3, is on the square, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II opens off it beside the cathedral. The Duomo Museum is inside Palazzo Reale, at Piazza del Duomo 12, where it has its own ticket office.
Planning more than the rooftop? Skip the line at the Duomo terraces explains what the fast track saves, Duomo rooftop sold out what to do when your date is gone, the Duomo and the Last Supper how to fit both into one day, and hotels near the Duomo di Milano where to sleep within reach of the square.

What Visitors Say About the Ticket
4.6/5
from 74,392 reviews
"Everyone have to visit Milan Cathedral and Duomos Terraces. From the top there are incredibles views."
"Beautiful views, clear signage and expectations, not too crowded the all in November!"
"Absolutely stunning and worth visiting. We didn’t realise initially that you need to start by going up on the terraces and then inside the cathedral afterwards. You need to walk round the cathedral to find where to go up from (depending whether you booked stairs or lift) - this was not clear at front entrance."
"Simply breathtaking experience - we went at 4.30pm, and had clear skies to observe the sunset on the terraces. You can see most of Milan from the roof. The architecture is just incredible both inside and out - this is a must-visit experience in Milan"
