Price table by ticket type
The official portal sells twelve products and the price depends on two things: whether the terraces are included and how you reach them. Ground-level tickets run €10 to €15, terrace-only tickets €16 to €28, and the passes that cover the cathedral, the terraces, the museum, the archaeological area and San Gottardo run €22 to €32. Since 1 April 2025 the official shop charges no pre-sale or service fee, so the list price is the price paid, whether you buy online or at the desk. The table above sets each official ticket next to the partner product covering the same areas; the partner's rooftop ticket at €26 matches the official Duomo and Terraces Lift exactly, and its cathedral entry at €12 costs €2 more than the official €10.
Who pays reduced or nothing
Reduced tickets run at about half the full price: €5 for Duomo + Museum, €8 or €9 for the terraces, €11 or €13 for the Duomo and Terraces passes, €14 for Fast-Track Terraces and €16 for the Fast-Track Pass, with the Culture Pass at €7.50. Who qualifies is the part the Veneranda Fabbrica does not publish: its general conditions state only that the free, discounted and reduced categories are defined at its own discretion or by agreement, and that ID must be shown when the ticket is collected. The one age rule stated officially is that the Culture Pass reduced fare extends to students under 26 with a school badge. Italian ticket sites consistently describe under-6s as free and 6 to 18 as reduced, which is the practice rather than a published rule: the official concessions page, read on 9 September 2026, lists cardholder categories only and no age bands at all. Visitors with a disability and one companion enter every area free, and Abbonamento Musei Lombardia, A.M.E.I., FAI and I.C.O.M. cardholders enter free on showing the card.
Is the Duomo free: prayer entry, Mass and free days
The Duomo is free for prayer and Mass and paid for visiting. Worshippers enter through the side doors from 07:00 to 08:30 and through the northernmost facade door from 08:00 to 19:00, last entrance 18:10, without a ticket; that route gives no access to the visitor circuit, the terraces or the museum. Mass is said six times on weekdays, from 07:00 to 17:30, and six times on Sundays, and tourist entry pauses during major liturgies. No regular free-entry day is published on the official pages fetched for this site; the state-museum free Sundays do not apply, because the cathedral is run by the Veneranda Fabbrica, not the state museum system.
Validity and what is included at each price
Every ticket carries a timed slot for the cathedral, and the official general conditions set the rest: a single-area ticket is valid only on the date chosen, while the cumulative tickets, which is the Fast-Track Pass, the Duomo and Terraces passes, the Culture Pass and Duomo + Museum, are valid for the chosen date and the following day, with one entry per area. Only the Duomo + Ambrosiana combo runs 72 hours. A date change is free, but only once, only up to one working day before the visit and only within three months of purchase. Duomo + Museum covers the cathedral, the museum at Piazza del Duomo 12 and San Gottardo in Corte; on Wednesdays the museum closes and the price drops to €8. The lift on any ticket reaches the first terrace level only, and the descent is by stairs.
Where the price is the same and where the partner adds value
The all-areas rooftop ticket costs €26 on the partner and €26 as the official Combo Lift, so the price is identical and the partner adds free cancellation up to 24 hours before the slot, reserve-now-pay-later and a booking flow without the official virtual waiting room. The cathedral-only entry costs €12 on the partner against €10 official, a €2 premium for the same terms. The guided products have no official equivalent on the fetched pages: the €24 skip-the-line visit undercuts the €28 official Fast-Track ticket but drops the lift and the museum, and the €39 guided tour with terraces is a different product. Where the official price is lower, this site says so on the product page.
Book at the listed price
Choose the product on the tickets hub, pick a date and hour, and pay by card or reserve to pay later; the e-ticket arrives by email and is scanned at the security line on the right of the facade. Prices on this site are the partner's on the scrape date, 7 September 2026, and the official list is the one in force since 1 April 2025; both can change, and the product pages carry the date each figure was checked. This site may earn a commission on bookings at no extra cost to you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to enter the Duomo in Milan?
€10 for the cathedral and museum on the official list, €8 on Wednesdays when the museum is closed; €22 to €28 if you want the terraces as well. The partner sells cathedral entry for €12 and the all-areas rooftop ticket for €26.
Is there a fee to enter the Duomo for Mass?
No. Worshippers enter free through the north facade door from 08:00 to 19:00 and through the side doors from 07:00 to 08:30, but that entrance does not lead to the visitor route, the terraces or the museum.
What are the reduced-price categories?
The Veneranda Fabbrica sets them at its own discretion and does not publish age bands; ID is checked when the ticket is collected. The one published rule is that the Culture Pass reduced fare covers students under 26 with a school badge. Under-6s free and 6 to 18 reduced is the reported practice, not an official quotation: the concessions page publishes no age bands.
How long is a Duomo ticket valid?
The cathedral slot is timed to the hour booked, and the cumulative tickets stay valid the following day as well, with one entry per area. Only the Duomo + Ambrosiana combo lasts 72 hours. The museum is closed on Wednesdays.
Are there free admission days?
None are published on the official pages fetched for this site. The cathedral is run by the Veneranda Fabbrica, not the state museum system, so the national free Sundays do not apply.
How much is the Duomo rooftop?
€16 on foot or €18 by lift for the terraces alone, €22 to €26 as part of a combo with the cathedral and museum, €28 with the reserved fast-track entrance. Reduced tickets are half price.
