Which one to choose in Milan

Milan, Italy
The crypt has a small ticket of its own, and a combined version with the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana next door costs a little more and is the better buy, since the gallery holds Leonardo's Portrait of a Musician and Caravaggio's Basket of Fruit. Opening is limited and the crypt is sometimes shut without notice, so check the day before. Guided visits run at fixed times and are included in the price on some days.
Milan, Italy
Tickets here are modular and the choice matters more than at most cathedrals. The cheapest covers only the church. The one almost everyone should buy adds the roof terraces, and it comes in two versions: stairs, about 250 steps, or lift, which costs a few euros more and skips them. Both put you on the same walkways among the spires. A fuller pass adds the cathedral museum in the Palazzo Reale and the archaeological area under the nave, where the fourth-century baptistery in which Ambrose baptised Augustine survives.
