Join our guide for an unforgettable tour of Milan's cultural highlights. Climb the Rooftops of the Duomo, explore the cathedral, and stroll through the city center's world-famous buildings and monuments, ending at the impressive Sforza Castle.

Are you in town for a short visit and eager to see Milan’s main attractions? This guided walking tour is the perfect solution!

We'll meet in front of the Cathedral and take the lift to the breathtaking rooftop terrace, spanning about 8,000 square meters. Here, you'll marvel at 135 spires, pinnacles, flying buttresses, and countless statues.

It's almost unbelievable, but the Duomo features approximately 3,400 statues! Designed and carved over the centuries, they depict a wide range of biblical and historical figures, gargoyles, animals, mythical creatures, faces, and enigmatic silhouettes.

We'll also pay homage to Milan’s most venerated statue: La Madonnina. Completed in 1774 and installed on the cathedral's highest spire, this gold-plated statue of the Virgin has protected the city ever since. Even Milan's unofficial anthem is dedicated to her!

Descending from the terraces, we'll step directly into the cathedral, an absolute masterpiece of stunning architecture that took centuries to complete. Today, the Duomo is the largest church in Italy and the sixth largest globally. Dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente and designed in Gothic style, the cathedral has undergone numerous changes over the centuries. It was finally completed thanks to Napoleon. You'll explore a place rich in history, art, and faith, admiring fantastic stained glass, outstanding artworks, revered relics, and unparalleled architectural solutions.

Lastly, you’ll spend an hour strolling through Milan's city center, discovering its history, art, culture, and architecture.

The world-famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II will greet us with its imposing glass dome and high-end fashion boutiques.

Our next stop will be Piazza della Scala, home to the world's most famous opera house, the city town hall, museums, and monuments. On our way to the Sforza Castle, we’ll pass by the enchanting Piazza Mercanti, one of the most evocative places in Milan. This small Piazza perfectly captures the city's layered history with its diverse architectural elements.

Our final stop will be at the Sforza Castle, a magnificent monument that embodies the city's history like no other. The castle has stood through tumultuous centuries and remains one of Milan's most iconic symbols.
