Heat and Services: Updates for Visiting the Monumental Complex of the Milan Cathedral
The Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, always committed to ensuring the well-being and safety of visitors to the Monumental Complex, announces an enhancement of the services offered in the visiting areas to better face the summer period and high temperatures, with particular attention to the Terraces.
Starting next Monday, July 7th, and until September 15th, 2025, a medical station with specialized personnel will be set up on the Cathedral Terraces, thanks to the collaboration with Auxologico. This initiative, designed to provide immediate assistance to visitors if needed, will be active every day during the hottest hours of the day, specifically from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
An ambulance will also be permanently stationed near the access points to the Terraces.
Moreover, for additional support during high temperatures, water distribution points will be set up near the sentry boxes on the Terraces, available in case of real need.
To further improve the visiting experience and manage visitor flows, Veneranda Fabbrica has also reduced the maximum capacity on the Terraces during the central hours of the day, between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM, allowing for faster and more comfortable access and exit, especially for groups.
All visitors are reminded of the importance of following a few simple yet essential rules to fully enjoy the beauty of the Duomo Terraces safely, especially when exposed to the sun:
- Stay hydrated frequently: drinking plenty of water is essential to prevent dehydration. Water dispensers are available at the official Duomo ticket office.
- Wear light and light-colored clothing: breathable fabrics and light colors help reflect the sun’s rays.
- Use hats and sunglasses: they provide protection from direct sunlight.
- Apply sunscreen: essential for protecting the skin.
- Seek shade when possible: take short breaks in shaded areas whenever possible.
All updates on opening hours and tickets for visiting the Monumental Complex of the Milan Cathedral are available on the official website: duomomilano.it.
The Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano wishes everyone an enjoyable visit.
