The Duomo is one of the 'must-sees' in Europe; standing among the likes of La Segrada Familia (Barcelona), the Basilica of St Peter (Rome), St Paul's Cathedral (London), St Mark's Cathedral (Venice), and the Blue Mosque (Istanbul).
Externally, the Duomo has, to me, the most 'classical' cathedral look. Appointments-wise, it's a tough match with La Segraada Familia. Both are so fully decorated.
Tourists can walk on the Duomo roof!
The access is on the right side of the building.
This refreshment van was exactly at the right side corner of the building.
Very convenient for a drink after the walk on the roof.
The access doors can be seen at the base of the tall window.

We paid to get up the cheap way ie by the stairs. Couldn't remember the number the guard told us, but it was less than the 350 at the Lion's Cave in Kunming, China.
