Before you go
Three decisions before you book
Rooftop or not. The terraces are a separate paid area. At official prices, adding the cathedral to a stairs rooftop ticket costs only €6 more, so on a first visit it makes sense to do both. The options are laid out on Duomo tickets.
Stairs or lift. The lift reaches the first level only, and the way down is on foot for everyone. If your knees are deciding, read stairs or lift first.
Which day. The Museum closes on Wednesdays, and since 1 November 2026 official tickets are valid only on the date you choose. Celebrations also cut visiting time on set days, so check the opening hours before you fix a date.
Where to buy
Tickets are sold at the ticket offices and on the official site. Tiqets, GetYourGuide and Headout are on the official list of authorised resellers, and their tickets are the rows on this page.
With more time in Milan, pair the cathedral with the Last Supper or La Scala. A city pass can cover it too.
