💡 The Short Version: The Flash pass (€39.90, 24 hours) is level with the tickets bought separately. The Standard pass (€60, 3 days) wins from four sights including the Duomo, and the All Inclusive pass (€90) from about five paid sights that include the Duomo lift and the Ambrosiana. The Tourist Museum Card (€20, six civic museums) wins from the third museum. No pass includes the Last Supper, La Scala performances or Fondazione Prada, and most of a pass’s value is the Duomo. The civic museums are free on the first Sunday of the month, and closed on Mondays. Buy the pass at citypass.yesmilano.it or through the official pass listing on GetYourGuidead, from €39.90 (GetYourGuide).

The sums
Singles are adult prices from the operators’ own pages: the Duomo Combo Stairs €22 and Combo Lift €26, the Sforza Castle €10, the Museo del Novecento €10, the Archaeological Museum €5, the GAM €8, the Civic Aquarium €8, the Natural History Museum €10, Museoscienza €13, the Ambrosiana €20, the La Scala museum €12 and the Triennale Design Museum €14. The ATM day ticket is €7.60 and the 3-day ticket €15.50.
| Pass | Left for the sights after the transport ticket | Break-even | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flash, €39.90 | €32.30 (after the €7.60 day ticket) | Combo Stairs €22 + the Castle €10 = €32 | No saving: €39.60 of tickets against €39.90, and the pass’s Duomo choice can be cheaper than the combo |
| Standard, €60 | €44.50 (after the €15.50 3-day ticket) | Combo Stairs €22 + the Castle €10 + Novecento €10 = €42, €2.50 short; a fourth civic museum clears it (the Archaeological Museum makes €47) | Wins from four sights including the Duomo; all seven listed sights cost €73 + €15.50 = €88.50 |
| All Inclusive, €90 | €74.50 | Combo Lift €26 + Museoscienza €13 + Ambrosiana €20 + Castle €10 + Novecento €10 = €79 | Wins from about five paid sights that include the Duomo lift and the Ambrosiana; six sights (swap Novecento for the La Scala museum €12 and the Triennale €14) cost €110.50 with transport, €20.50 more than the pass |
| Tourist Museum Card, €20 | No transport | The Castle €10 + Novecento €10 = €20 | Wins from the third civic museum: the Archaeological Museum makes €25, the GAM €28 |
| Milano Museo Card, €15 | No transport | Two civic museums | Only for a repeat visit; the Tourist Museum Card is the visitor product |
- The Duomo is the largest single item in every pass, so a plan without the terraces gains little. The Duomo tickets page has the prices and the queue.
- The civic museums are cheap, €5 to €10, so most of a pass’s saving comes from the Duomo, the Ambrosiana and Museoscienza.
- Over-65s and ages 18 to 25 pay half price at the civic museums, which weakens the passes for them.
The days that decide it
| Day | What it does to a pass |
|---|---|
| Monday | The civic museums, Brera and the Gallerie d’Italia are closed, and so is Museoscienza on Mondays that are not holidays. The Duomo, its museum, the Ambrosiana and La Scala’s museum are open, so a Monday pass day is thin. |
| Wednesday | The Duomo Museum and the Ambrosiana are closed. |
| First Sunday of the month | The civic museums are free, so a Tourist Museum Card or a Standard pass is wasted on the museums that day. The next are 1 November and 6 December 2026 and 3 January 2027. |
| Second Tuesday of the month | The civic museums are free for visitors up to 25. |
| Thursday | The Museo del Novecento stays open to 22:30. |
What to book before you go to Milan has the full week grid, and Milan museums has the prices and closed days the sums use.
What the passes leave out
- The Last Supper is on none of the pass lists: the Last Supper tickets page has the museum’s €15 ticket and the release dates.
- La Scala performances and Fondazione Prada are not covered either. La Scala tickets covers the opera, and the museum is in the All Inclusive pass.
Which to buy
- Three or more paid sights over three days, including the Duomo: the Standard pass at €60.
- The Duomo lift, Museoscienza and the Ambrosiana: the All Inclusive pass at €90.
- Two or three civic museums and no Duomo: the Tourist Museum Card at €20.
- One Duomo visit and one museum in a day: singles.
- Getting around: a contactless bank card with the €7.60 day cap, or the ATM 3-day ticket at €15.50.
- A short stay built on free sights: no pass. Free things to do in Milan lists what costs nothing.
Milan hop-on hop-off and Milan walking tours are the other ways to see the centre with a guide or commentary, and 3 days in Milan plans the days round the closed days.
Common questions
Is the Milan city pass worth it?
The Flash pass (€39.90, 24 hours) is level with buying the tickets and a day ticket separately. The Standard pass (€60, 3 days) wins from four sights including the Duomo. The All Inclusive pass (€90) wins from about five paid sights that include the Duomo lift and the Ambrosiana. A pass that leans on the Duomo gains little if you skip the terraces.
How much is the YesMilano City Pass?
Flash €39.90 for 24 hours, Standard €60 for 3 days and All Inclusive €90 for 3 days. Standard and All Inclusive include a 3-day public transport ticket, which is worth €15.50 on its own, and Flash includes a 24-hour ticket worth €7.60.
Does a Milan city pass include the Last Supper?
No. None of the passes lists the Last Supper, which sells only through its own channels, and none includes La Scala performances or Fondazione Prada.
What is the Tourist Museum Card?
The civic museums' own card: €20 for one entry to each of six civic museums over 3 consecutive days from the first entry, used within 12 months of purchase. It has no transport. It pays from the third museum.
Are Milan's museums free on any day?
The civic museums are free on the first Sunday of every month, and free for visitors up to 25 on the second Tuesday. A pass is wasted on those days.
Do I book museums with the YesMilano City Pass?
Yes. The pass is a digital pass in the YesMilanoPass app, and the museums must be booked in the app, subject to availability.
