Description
Skip the ticket lines and explore the Duomo Cathedral in Milan on a guided tour. Admire the glow of 14th-century stained glass windows and learn about the 600-year history of the cathedral.
While thousands gaze at the cathedral from the outside, the true heart of Milan beats deep within its stone walls and underground chambers. Step past the crowded square and journey into the monumental interior of the world's most complex Gothic cathedral—no rooftop climbing required.
After bypassing the main ticket queues through a dedicated fast-track entrance, your expert English-speaking guide will lead you beneath towering marble pillars that stretch toward the heavens. Look up to admire the glow of 14th-century stained glass windows, and look down to decipher the ancient pagan zodiac symbols quietly woven into the Christian marble floors.
Stand before the dramatic statue of Saint Bartholomew and learn the incredible 600-year story of how this marble masterpiece was carved out of the Italian mountains.
