The Duomo Compared: Florence and Sellers
Comparison pages are only useful when they end in a decision, so both of these do. The first sets Milan Cathedral against Florence on size, style, tickets and the climb, and says which roof to spend a morning on. The second sets the cathedral's own ticket shop against the booking partners, states the official price in every row, and says where the official option is the better buy. This site earns a commission on partner bookings, which is exactly why the official prices are printed alongside.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Milan Duomo better than Florence?
For the climb, yes: Milan's roof is a walkable marble terrace among 135 spires, while Florence's is an enclosed stair to a viewing gallery. For a visit without climbing, Florence gives more from the pavement.
Should I buy from the official site or a partner?
Official when your date is fixed and you want the lowest price. Partner when you want free cancellation up to 24 hours before, pay-later, or a bundle the cathedral does not sell. On the all-areas rooftop ticket both cost €26.
