Duomo Shop — Local services in Milan

Der Dom Shop ist nicht zu empfehlen. Wir wollten am Tag nach der Besichtigung noch etwas kaufen. Allerdings war niemand zum kassieren im Shop. Wir hätten uns dann auch in die Ticketschlange stellen sollen und eine Nummer ziehen, nur um Souvenirs zu kaufen. Schlechte Organisation und alles sehr langsam und kompliziert gestaltet.

Man bekommt auch nicht gesagt was im Dom aktuell geöffnet ist und was gerade restauriert wird. Z. B konnten wir nicht in die Crypta, obwohl wir dafür bezahlt haben. Richtige abzocke. Man beachte auch die diskriminierende Kleiderordnung. Als Frau darf man keine Knie zeigen, viele Männer, die eine kurze Hosen getragen haben und die Knie sichtbar waren durften rein ohne diese zu bedecken. Wenn dann gleiches Recht für alle ohne Ausnahmen. Generell gilt Schultern und alles bis zu den Knien inklusive Knie selbst muss bedeckt sein.

The Dom Shop is not recommended. We wanted to buy something the day after the tour. However, there was no one in the store to collect. We should have then also stand in the ticket line and take a number just to buy souvenirs. Poor organization and everything was very slow and complicated.

You are not told what is currently open in the cathedral and what is being restored. For example, we could not enter the Crypta, although we paid for it. A real rip-off. Note also the discriminatory dress code. As a woman you can not show your knees, many men who wore shorts and the knees were visible were allowed to enter without covering them. If then equal right for all without exceptions. Generally, shoulders and everything up to the knees including the knees themselves...

You can buy tickets here to go to the cathedral and museum. You can also buy them online but when we were there and tried to buy online, the tickets were sold out and we had to go to the center to buy them and there we waited for +30 minutes to get the tickets. We wanted to buy the tickets that allow you to use the stairs (cost 20€) but they were offering only the elevator tickets that cost 25€. However, we didn’t regret pay more as the stairs are high and a bit hard to climb especially if you have children or...

On Wednesday, 16/08/2023 as I entered the shop to buy a reduced ticket for Duomo and Duomo Terrazze, it’s explicitly written that there’s reduced ticket for university students till 26 y.o costing just 6.5€. Therefore I asked the official information guys (wearing blue vests) who stood in front of the queues about the information. And they told me that there’s no reduced ticket for today which means that I have to buy full ticket which costed me 16€....
