After escaping the hypnosis of astonishment when eyeing the cathedral, you should then continue your adventure and climb to the top of it! While this means trekking 919 steps up a spiral staircase, the views atop the Duomo di Milano are spectacular and will provide you with the perfect opportunity to fully appreciate the intricate details and mesmerizing architecture.
Making the climb will only cost you six euros, which is a small price for such a great thrill. Not to mention this climb is a great workout for all the future gelato you'll eat. Or at least that was my mindset!
Note: If you are looking to also visit inside the cathedral — another must see, if you ask me! — be sure to dress accordingly, as there is a strict dress code. If what you are wearing covers both your shoulders and knees, you should be good to go. However, if you're looking to just climb to the top, you can wear whatever you want.
