Other activities of interest
If you are organizing your trip to Milan, one of the main recommendations I can give you is to book in advance the tickets to visit the Duomo. Being one of the most emblematic places in the city, there are usually very long queues at the entrance, which will make you desperate and you will arrive already tired to climb to the roof. I leave you here an article about Milan Cathedral Tickets and Tours so you can organize your visit in time.
