Option	Strength	Trade‑Off
Duomo Rooftops	Iconic spires, Gothic foregrounds	Stairs/queues; weather dependent
Torre Branca	Park setting, 360° cabin view	Short timed ride; limited hours
Palazzo Lombardia Belvedere	Modern skyline height	Specific open days; indoor glass reflections
Highline Galleria	Unique gallery‑roof walk	Narrow walkways; not as high

Bottom line: choose the Duomo for stone drama + city context; pick a tower for height and weatherproofing.

I created this guide to help you choose good times, respect the setting and enjoy the Duomo without long waits.
