Itinerary

  1. Discover the Duomo, Milan’s most iconic landmark and the fifth-largest Gothic cathedral in the world. A "living monument" under construction since 1386, this architectural marvel is famous for its 135 spires, the sacred Holy Nail relic, and as the site of Napoleon’s 1805 coronation. Enjoy a personalized experience with an expert English-speaking guide and a maximum of only six guests. Skip the long lines and step directly into a vast interior supported by 52 massive pillars—one for every week of the year. Explore a world-record collection of 3,400 statues, including the famous St. Bartholomew and a hidden ancient sundial. Learn the secrets of the cathedral’s 700-year evolution, from the medieval canals dug to transport its marble to the complex symbolism hidden in its facade. Unlock the history and artistry of Milan’s crown jewel in just one hour.

Wander amidst a forest of marble spires and stand before the iconic golden Madonnina, the city’s 4-meter-tall protector.

About Milan

Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.

The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.

Top-ranked sights in Milan: Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), Da Vinci's Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), La Scala (Teatro alla Scala).
