How long does it take to climb Milan Duomo stairs?

I read in a guide book that there's an elevator to the top, but you can also walk up the stairs in an average time of 10 to 15 minutes. I challenged myself to do it in under 10. But first, the night was before me and it was time to explore more of the pulsating city of Milan.

It's highly recommend to buy a ticket - combo, including Duomo Rooftop, Milan Cathedral and the museum. You will skip all the queue, save money and time! The view of Milan City on the top of the Rooftops was breathtaking; at the same time, the beauty of the Duomo Building is spectacular. Worth every minute!

No, entrance is free! You do have to buy the single Grande Museo del Duomo pass to visit the other monuments in Piazza del Duomo (climb up the Dome and the bell tower, the Baptistery and the museum). For this reason, you'll at times find a long line to get in into the cathedral.

Does the dress code apply to the climb as well? As long as you are wearing no shorts and no sleevless tops, you will be ok. Same applies to all religious sites. I see long shorts (to the knee) in the Duomo in Florence and other churches all the time nowadays.

If you'd really like to see the frescos inside the Duomo's dome, make sure you get the BRUNELLESCHI PASS so you can also do that climb. If you're mostly interested in the views of the city, I'd recommend climbing Giotto's bell tower (get the BRUNELLESCHI OR GIOTTO PASS).

Save time with a fast-track ticket and ride the dedicated elevator to enjoy the views from the Duomo terraces. Book an optional upgrade to visit the inside of the cathedral on your way back down.

It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the Historic Center of Florence. Visiting the Florence Cathedral is one of the best things to do in Florence. Trust me, it's worth climbing up hundreds of stairs to the top of the Duomo. You'll enjoy one of the best views of Florence from up there.
