Top ways to experience Piazza del Duomo
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

The Duomo is spectacular by day or night, but is so massive that it's hard to get a decent photo of it if you're too close. What's really fun is to watch the would-be influencers striking their poses and then give it a try yourself.

This piazza is very large and takes a while to just walk round it but it’s worth it
The square is massive but so are the number of people in it
Of course it’s a bit of a tourist trap for food and drink but if you just wander down a few back streets you can find some great little restaurants at reasonable prices
It’s basically a can’t miss if in Milan

The Piazza Duomo is a must see in Milan. If you are a history buff it’s better to book a tour. Check out the stunning detail and carvings on the Duomo.

Not quite Napoleon,s drawing room of Europe as there are no cafes or rest On the Piazza,but for such a large public pedestrianised area it must come a close second.Whilst Rome is consistently pilloried for rubbish on its street, the Milanese Council are doing a grand job of public space cleanliness with literally thousands of visitors, seven days a week

Simply stunning the pictures don’t do it justice…there was live music, the Sunday seemed a lot busier than normal. Get there early and it was quiet or on a weekday!

The piazza was fenced off for a concert so I didn'tget to see it as I might have hoped. Lots of interesting buildings around the outside and a bustling place to spend a few moments taking in the scene.

This is truly an awesome area and there is a humongous historic building but I am not sure about safety. There are tons of tourists but I don’t see any police or security in this area.

It is safe area , but there are pick pockets around.
Please be careful, and keep credit cards separate from money.

Puoi andare al ristorante Dogana, in via Dogana, è ristorante - pizzeria, a dua passi dal Duomo. Se poi vuoi fare una cosa extra, puoi andare al Pavarotti, sempre attaccato al Duomo, ma in cima alla Galleria, vedi il Duomo vicinissimo e il panorama è Bellissimo.

I'm taking the train to Milan for a day visit. What's the best way to get to City Centre?

I suggest you grab a map from the station centrale and go there by walking.
Better ask the tourism office to highlight the best road to take,
By this way,you can have an idea about the city,and not only the touristic center.
On your way back you can take the metro.
Another way to discover the city with the ability to hop in hop off is to take the bus sight seeing tour that happens to stop in front of the stazione centrale

Hi everybody!
I need an advice : what is the best way of getting from Linate airport to The
Square Milano Duomo Hotel
I understand that I can take bus#73 to the San Babilo metro , but the bus has a lot of stops and might take up to 1 1/2 hr.
The other choice is to take AirBus, but it will take me to a Central Train station which is 3 km from the Hotel
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
PS Do not want to spent $$$ for a Taxi or private transfer

Dear alinderman55,
Perhaps the best way to get to Piazza del Duomo (although I do not know the name of the hotel) you get to the central station with the airport transfer and then take the yellow metro M3 S Donato direction and get off after 4 stops to Duomo. The cost of the metro ticket is 1.50 Euros, half every 3 minutes while the transfer from Linate costs 10 EUR one way, 16 EUR round trip a bus every 20 minutes. See the website atm and malpensashuttle for any further information.
Although late, I hope it is useful and you has understood my English and I wish you a pleasant stay in Italy.
