FAQs
1. Is the Duomo Rooftop Terrace safe to visit?
Yes. The Rooftop Terrace of the Milan Duomo is designed to be completely safe for visitors. The paths are wide, protective barriers are in place along the entire perimeter, and the experience is supervised by Duomo security staff. Your expert guide will also ensure that the group moves safely through all areas during the tour.
2. What should I wear when visiting the Duomo and the Rooftop Terraces?
The Duomo is an active place of worship, so modest clothing is required: shoulders and knees must be covered for both men and women. Comfortable shoes with good grip are recommended, especially for the rooftop, where surfaces can be slightly uneven due to the historic marble structure.
3. Is the Duomo rooftop accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
Some parts of the Cathedral are accessible, but the Rooftop Terraces involve stairs and narrow passages that may not be suitable for visitors with mobility challenges. The elevator can reduce part of the climb, but it does not eliminate all steps. If you have specific accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can advise you on the best options.
4. Can children participate in the Milan Duomo & Rooftop Terrace tour?
Yes, children are welcome and often enjoy the rooftop views. However, they must be supervised at all times due to the elevated walkways and historic marble surfaces. Strollers are not allowed on the rooftops, so we recommend baby carriers for very young children.
5. What happens if there is bad weather during the tour?
The tour runs in most weather conditions, including light rain. The rooftops may temporarily close in cases of strong wind, thunderstorms, or other conditions that could compromise safety. If this occurs, the visit will be adapted to ensure the best possible experience inside the Cathedral and surrounding areas.
