What to expect
You'll meet Roberto at the cathedral and move directly through entrances reserved for guided groups. The rooftop section involves climbing stairs—manageable for most fitness levels, though those with heart concerns should reconsider. You'll weave through the cathedral's cavernous interior, then climb higher to the open-air roof where 135 marble spires punctuate the skyline. On clear days, Alpine peaks loom on the northern horizon. Back inside, you'll explore the Baptistery's early Christian mosaics and architecture before wrapping up in roughly 90 minutes.
Good to know
Wear casual, comfortable shoes for the stairwork. The rooftop is exposed to weather and sun—bring sunscreen. Public transport stops nearby if you're coming from elsewhere in Milan. Tips aren't included in the price.
