Mind the doors. On a recent family trip to Milan, we used the subway to cross the city. Always making sure to enter each subway car in a timely manner. At the Duomo M3 a lady ran to make the train, but her long braided hair got stuck as the doors shut and she could not pull it from the closed doors. I pulled the emergency brake before the train started to move. This opened the doors and allowed her hair to be released from the tightly closed doors that had trapped her hair. Of course this caused a delay in transit, but someone just came to our car, reset the lever and once again the subway was back in service. Thank goodness she was okay, but definitely mind the doors. read more

The Duomo metro stop is larger underground than it appears. There are many, and I do mean many, entrances/exits to this station. Some has chair lifts to navigate steps but most entrances have many steps and some have long hallways leading under the Piazza del Duomo. Exiting you will end up in one corner, or another of Piazza del Duomo or near Via Torino if you walk a bit further along. Once underground, you will see several automated ticket machines near the underground entrance turnstiles. Sometimes you will find a person there who wishes to 'help' you purchase your tickets. These folks are looking for a tip. If you don't need help, just say 'no grazie' and go about your business. The machines have language options to help. Once you have your ticket, scan at the turnstile and make your way down the escalators. There are maps throughout the underground to check you get on the correct train. If you prefer to purchase your tickets from a person, head up the ramp (turnstiles will be on your left) and here you will find a small area with some shops and a ticket area. Many shops in subways throughout Milan will sell tickets. Just look for the "Biglietti" sign and have cash ready. The is often a line. If you look around this area, you will see underground walkways leading off to the left. This long corridor is lined with cafe's and stores. Eventually, you will end up in the San Babila metro station where you can exit behind the Duomo shopping area. Lots of shops and some churches between San Babila and the Duomo. Exiting at Piazza del Duomo you will find the Duomo, Duomo museum, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele the oldest indoor shopping arcade in Italy, Museo del Novecento, shopping and restaurants behind the Duomo, across the street from the Duomo you will find Piazza dei Mercanti a medieval square off the pedestrian zone that leads to Castello Sforzesco. You will find many stores, restaurants and theaters in the pedestrian zone. Teatro alla Scala, a statue of Leonardo Di Vinci and Palazzo Marino are on the other side of Galleria Emanuele, just walk through. Panzerotti Luini, Milan street food, is on Via San Radegonda where you'll get a sweet or savory 'panzerotto' for just a few euro. In the west corner the metro station exits onto Via Falcone, one block south of Via Torino which includes many clothing stores. Wander the streets off Via Torino into the Centro Storico section of Milan where you'll find cobble stone streets, archeological sights, many churches and ancient piazzas. Good metro stop. read more

Duomo M1 M3 - Metro Stations Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Duomo M1 M3 is the Metro Station serving you've guessed it Duomo, it is located underneath Piazza del Duomo which includes the stunning Duomo di, Milano. Line M1 opened here in 1964, and Line M3 opened in 1990. The station claims to be step-free, however, the only lift I noticed was from the ticket hall to the platform, but I wasn't exactly looking for it either. Owned by Azienda Trasporti Milanesi, it is a typical no-thrills subway station, it isn't overly attractive but was relatively clean providing an interchange across lines M1 and M3. It provides access to Milano Centrale Station in a couple of minutes, which is useful if you're getting the bus from there to Bergamo Airport. I found it easy to navigate around the station and find my lines once inside, which was very different to my experience at Milano Centrale. 3* - OK, provides useful interchange access across lines of the Milan Metro, while also serving the vibrant city square and many of the city's attractions beyond Duomo, including Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, other attractions including Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milano (you can get on tram services on the side-streets close to here), and many large shops are just a short walk away including Apple at Plaza De Liberty. read more

Underneath the massive Piazza del Duomo and the Duomo di Milano, you'll find the reasonably marked Duomo Metro station. With a belly full of bread and risotto, I took the train from here back to my hotel for a well deserved nap. The station is handicapped accessible though I was not looking very carefully for elevator access from street level. I did see escalators from the ticketing concourse to the platform level. There are several different exits to the street including one for the Rinascente. Duomo is an intersection station for the M1 and the M3 lines. On the M1 (Red) line, it is between Cordusio (toward Rho or Bisceglie) and San Babila (toward Sesto 1º Maggio). On the M3 (Yellow) line, it is between Montenapoleone (toward Comasina) and Missori (toward San Donato). The station is clean, reasonably well lit, and easily navigable.

Milan was a harder city to learn the metro, but we finally got it! The Duomo is a must see and I'm thankful we were able to!

The biggest and most important metro station of them all! if you manage to get out from the right exit (there are plenty of them!) you will be greeted by an incredibly beatuful view: Piazza Duomo, the Duomo itself and the Gallery! The place is surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops. You can basically find anything here. Worth a visit, it's a nice place to hava a walk in the night, very quite and secured by plenty of police at all hours. read more
