1

Day 1: Piazza del Duomo & the Galleria

Morning (09:30 - 11:30)

Duration: ~1.5 - 2.5 h

Midday (11:45 - 12:15)

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan, Italy

Walk straight into the Galleria next door — completely free, with no ticket needed at any time.

Duration: ~20 - 30 min

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• Only the YesMilano City Pass genuinely includes the Duomo for free — MilanoCard's "Duomo" bundle is just a market-price ticket purchase, not a discount.
• The Galleria needs no ticket or pass at all, at any time of day.

Duration: ~1.5 - 3 h

Afternoon (14:00 - 14:45)

Cenacolo Vinciano, Milan, Italy
