Milan Galleria Highline and Duomo Terraces Fast Track Lift Tour

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Milan, seen from above. We begin on the Highline rooftop above Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the rarest vantage points in the city: a glass-and-iron arcade built in 1877, viewed not from within its elegant boutiques but from above its vaulted roof, looking out across the city toward the white marble silhouette of the Duomo. From there, a guide leads you through the doors of the Duomo di Milano — the third-largest cathedral in the world, nearly six centuries in the making — for an interior visit that moves through its nave of 52 pillars, its 40 stained-glass windows dating back to the 15th century, and the sculptural detail most visitors walk past without slowing down.
The experience culminates where Milan earns its skyline: fast-track lift access to the Duomo Rooftop Terraces, a high walkway among 135 marble spires and over 3,000 statues, with the full breadth of the city — and on clear days, the Alps — laid out below. Ten guests maximum. A pace that lets you actually see it.
