Milan is a huge city, but all the main attractions are located close to the Piazza del Duomo. You can easily walk to all the main attractions of Milan in one day. However all the main attractions and famous buildings are all dotted close to the city centre, meaning that in one day you will be able to walk all around the centre of Milan and, even if only from outside, see all the main points of interest.
Time to dive in! Piazza del Duomo is both the most central square in Milan, but also one of the most visited parts of the city. Not just because it features on every tourists Italy bucket list , but also because locals hang around here on weekends.
When I was in high school we often used to meet up in Piazza del Duomo with friends and then from there go explore the shopping streets around it. Piazza del Duomo is also home to the Duomo of Milano, one of the most famous churches in Milan. Did you know it took hundreds of years to complete? This stunning gothic cathedral is the best place to start your Milan 1-day itinerary. In my opinion you should visit the roof of the Duomo cathedral instead.
