Italy the Land of Love & History
The perfect tourist destination, aka Italy!!
Truly my trip to Italy was one of a kind as it held a blend of history which comes in the form of ancient ruins that tell the tales of civilizations that strived to make a mark in the record of time, from the Roman Empire’s colosseum in Rome to the Duomo di Milano (The Catholic church in Milan) and you never get by without the atmosphere of love in Venezia’s gondola going through city of love.

Milan Most Beautiful Cathedral
The Milan Cathedral is famous for being the third largest cathedral in the world, and the second largest cathedral in Europe. Just looking at it , this is such a beautiful creation! I got my ticket with the elevator from Getyourguide -there are several entrances so be sure to get there early and get to the correct one. As i do not want to climb the endless stairs I opted for the elevator option. Be sure to get your tickets earlier to avoid being sold out.
Be sure to head to the rooftop first, as it is the most mesmerizing rooftop terraces of the Duomo. I spent quite a bit of time here appreciating the whole architecture and of course took tonnes of photos of this beautiful cathedral! Is definitely one of its kind!
The intricate Gothic construction of the cathedral is best appreciated from above!
In addition to the details of the rooftop itself–which is truly the highlight–you’ll also be able to enjoy views out over the city, which show off just how modern much of Milan’s skyline is compared to Italy’s other most visited cities.
I have gotten the full access ticket-A full Duomo complex ticket also includes a visit to the Duomo Museum, which includes statues and artifacts that called the Duomo home in centuries past, and the Church of San Gottardo in Corte.Both sites are well worth visiting if you have time to work them into your Milan itinerary.#2024wish ##besttrip ##milan #italy

Duomo Di Milano Italy
We had a nice and terrific day during our visit in Milan. The cathedral is really huge and was amazed to think over how the people managed to build such thing during that time. The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete: construction began in 1386, and the final details were completed in 1965 as per history.
