Milan Cathedral
ChurchMilanAbout 1.5 hours
Six hundred years in the building and carrying more statues than any other church in the world. The interior is free and surprisingly dim; the reason to buy a ticket is the roof, where you walk among the spires and buttresses with the Alps visible on a clear day. Lifts and stairs are priced separately. Shoulders and knees must be covered.
