1. Duomo di Milano

4.5 based on 45 reviews
The Duomo, symbol of Milan in the world, is one of the largest cathedrals in Italy and Europe. Patrimony of Milanese people and humanity, over the centuries it has been expressing, with its magnificence, the devotion of humanity toward the Divine, involving future generations in an endless commitment. The Milan Cathedral, besides being an artistic monument, is a privileged place of prayer, deeply linked to the memory and teachings of the Bishops who succeeded on St. Ambrose's chair, and to the history of the millions of worshippers who, every year, gather in this place to celebrate the Sacred Mysteries. The Cathedral is the mother Church of the Diocese, having a symbolic role of exemplarity both in the life of the city worship, and in relation with the Diocese activity.

Magnificent and gorgeous. The details are spectacular. The inside is beautiful too. Go with a tour or use the auto-guide inside.

Tickets to view Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper go on sale three months in advance and sell out quickly, although it's sometimes possible to buy tickets closer to your visit. If you don't manage to purchase tickets on your own, consider visiting The Last Supper as part of a tour. It's much more expensive, but worth it if you don't want to miss out.

If you’re visiting Milan, then seeing the Last Supper is an absolute must. Personally, I’m not religious but I was truly took back upon seeing the painting and learning about the history.
I’d definitely recommend booking early as tickets get booked up as your time slot is only 15 minutes

For sheer belle époque splendor, this extravagant 19th-century glass-topped, barrel-vaulted tunnel serves as a lively, noisy and colorful shopping mall, teeming with life and inviting you to people-watching from the tables that spill from the Galleria's many bars and restaurants.

The grandeur of the place takes your breath away. The beautiful vaulted ceilings, the lovely tiled floors and of course the endless high end designer shops. A great place to stroll and window shop if you can't afford to go in.

This busy and vibrant city square features the gothic Cathedral, one of the largest in Europe.
Reviewed By holidayaddict51 - Sowerby Bridge
The square is always crowded with people visiting the Cathedral and you get a great sense of the scale of the building from here. Plenty of information boards about the building of the Cathedral around the walls and the Cathedral shop nearby. Some good buskers playing as well- all adds to the atmosphere.

Great historical setting for a range of museums. For me the highlight was Michelangelo's last, unfinished Pieta. Very moving and well presented.

We visited as it was described as the Sistine chapel of Milan thinking that was a complete overstatement how wrong we were.
The Frescos are stunning and when you see the detail that these artists with basic equipment you have to appreciate the detail and the beauty.
Don’t miss this place.

Walked in the door to a stunning decorated basilica. Beautiful. I just sat on a pew and looked in awe at the ceilings especially. Lovely to look at from the outside but open the door and be amazed.

Looking at the map and planning the next few days it would have been very easy to skip. But you don't guess how cool this place is until you actually see it. Unfortunately, the ski area had closed literally the day before because of unseasonable heat. It was 4C at the base of the ski area. We still took the tram up to see the glacier and it was very pretty. The road is an absolute blast to ride. Bicycles and motorcycles everywhere. And some camper vans. Don't miss it.

Too touristy spot eventhough nice. Easily reachable by funicular from lower Bergamo (costs 1.3 EUR one way). Ancient town with narrow streets, full of restaurants and souvenier shops, crouded with tourists. Nevertheless worth a visit , absolutely stunning Cathedral.

This small church is hidden in a lateral street close to Vittoria's main square in Lodi. While the external appearance is not immediately very attractive, at least from the street level, the interiors of the church are definitely impressive and will leave you speechless, especially the vault. Several decorations and paintings of local artists are exhibited.
Some renovation works were in progress at the interiors at the time of the visit, but most of the church is very well visible.
