The magnificent cathedral of Milan, a vivid representative of the elegant architectural direction of flaming Gothic. The temple began to be erected in the XIV century, the decoration of some elements of the facade was completed only by 1965. Milan Cathedral is completely built of white marble, it is one of the most beautiful temples not only in Italy, but throughout Europe. Inside is a golden statue of the Madonna - the patroness of Milan.

Book online to beat the lines. Elevator costs 5 euro more but has longer lines and wait times. On the other hand stairs are narrow in width and some may find it claustrophobic which is exacerbated by the breathlessness of climbing. Stairs are reasonably well ventilated with small vents at regular intervals. Stairs ceiling is comfortably high enough even for tall people.

Another set of stairs takes you to the actual roof where the views are even better. Incredibly beautiful and historical architecture. Coming down the stairs you enter the Cathedral itself which is adorned with sculptures, painting, and more beautiful architecture. We came on a Sunday so we were able to observe a mass as well.

This was a major inconvenience as we had not planned for the same and we ended up missing the cathedral visit completely. Considering we paid 55 Euros for 2 persons as part of the Rooftop and Cathedral visit, this proved to be a relatively expensive mistake.
Nevertheless the rooftop visit was awesome. Some advice - the rooftop visit is pretty long and more so on a weekend. You have to wait in the line while it moves along the rooftop. Also the lift only takes you to a particular floor, after which you still have to climb a few more flights of stairs and I didn't see accessibility ramps for those stairs. And the trip back to the ground floor is by the stairs for most people.
The views are magnificent from the top and the architecture is just stunning. Must visit for sure and I intend to go back to see the Cathedral again.
