What you'll do
08:00 AM - Espresso + maritozzo at Motta
Step into history at Motta Milano 1928, nestled within the breathtaking Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This iconic establishment offers more than just a meal; it's a journey to the heart of Milanese tradition, celebrating the legendary Motta brand synonymous with panettone. Imagine sipping a perfectly brewed cappuccino, enjoying a flaky croissant in the morning, or perhaps an exquisite traditional panettone – especially magical during winter months.

Whether you're standing at the bar for a quick, authentic coffee like a true Milanese, or enjoying table service for a more leisurely experience, be aware of differing prices. Motta is ideal for people-watching, absorbing the grandeur of the Galleria, and indulging in high-quality Italian pastries and light meals. It's an unmissable stop for anyone seeking a blend of culinary delight, history, and quintessential Milanese charm.
09:00 Duomo rooftop, Galleria Vittorio
Ascend to the Duomo's rooftop for an unforgettable experience walking amidst a forest of spires, statues, and intricate Gothic carvings. The panoramic view of Milan is breathtaking, and on clear days, the Alps majestically frame the skyline. Get up close to the iconic golden Madonnina statue, perched atop the main spire. This is a unique opportunity to admire the cathedral's centuries-in-the-making architecture from a truly privileged perspective. Just steps away, indulge in the opulent beauty of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the world's oldest and most luxurious shopping arcades. Its magnificent glass-and-iron-vaulted roof, intricate mosaics, and elegant storefronts create a truly grand atmosphere. Nicknamed "Milan's drawing room," it's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, window-shopping, or savoring a coffee at one of its historic cafés. On-ground travel tips: Book tickets online and in advance for the Duomo, especially for rooftop access via the lift, to avoid long queues. A combined ticket for the cathedral, rooftop, and museum is often the best value. Best time to visit: Go early in the morning to avoid the biggest crowds and the midday sun on the rooftop. The late afternoon offers softer light for photography. Dress code: Remember that the Duomo is a religious site; ensure your shoulders and knees are covered to enter the cathedral. This rule also applies to the rooftop. Accessibility: An elevator is available for the Duomo rooftop, though there are still some stairs to navigate at the top. The Galleria is easily accessible on the ground floor. Getting there: Both are located in the Piazza del Duomo, the central hub of Milan, easily reachable by the Duomo metro station. Good luck tradition: While in the Galleria, find the mosaic of the bull and, for good luck, spin your heel on its... well, you'll figure it out! Sources
