Terrazza Aperol

Overview

Orange and popular rooftop with close-ups views of the Duomo.

Found right by the majestic Duomo di Milano, Terrazza Aperol is a lively and dynamic Milano rooftop bar, paying tribute to one of the hottest drinks during recent years: the Aperol Spritz.

Decorated to match the popular aperitif, from the barcounter which is 'a freeze frame of a fluid suspended in the air' to the orange drop-shaped tables, the terrace is so close to the Duomo it almost feels like you can reach out and touch it.

The obvious choice of order at the rooftop bar is of course an Aperol Spritz, or one of the other Aperol-based creations. But there is also a large selection of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. The drinks are complemented with all-day tapas and more filling international and local dishes as lunch.

Given the location and a name that attracts, you should be prepared to wait a bit to get a table on the terrace (the indoor lounge is likely easier). But you are rewarded with a great view and a vibrant Aperol-experience.

To reach the terrace, go into the Autogrill Duomo Store and head up to the second floor.
