Good Morning!
8 AM - Fuel up on coffee and cornetto at your hotel or any bar/caffe near where you are staying.
8:30 AM - Start exploring Cathedral Square where the famous Duomo di Milano is located at the heart of the city. This square is surrounded by beautiful shops and architecture, but the real attraction is of course the cathedral itself.

9 AM - Explore the inside of the church and consider purchasing a ticket to climb to the top. From there you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Piazza and and Milan. It's a nice way to see a different view of the city from that height and you will have the chance to experience the intricately carved cathedral spires from up close.
* Tickets can be purchased in advance through Viator, Get Your Guide, or Tiqets to skip the lines.
* Pro Tip: Another option is to visit the cathedral in the evening before they close at 7 PM so you can climb to the top around sunset. Just expect that there may be some more crowds.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laurain Aydinian
Available for hire
Curated guides, tailor-made itineraries, and insider travel tips for unforgettable adventures in Italy.
Specializing in local food, wine, cocktails, and unique exploration - particularly in Rome but also in regions and towns north to south. I have experience planning trips to destinations ranging from small towns in Tuscany with a population of 29, to Italy's largest cities.
My recommendations are carefully selected based on quality, location, and overall experience. Typically in centrally located areas so that you won't have to travel too far from any city center to find the best of the best - without falling into tourist traps!
Ideal for solo travelers or couples, whether you're seasoned visitors or first-timers, my guides cater to those seeking a less mainstream, more DIY adventure with a mix of traditional sightseeing and authentic local experiences that emphasize the flavors of the country.
