How to avoid the worst of it today

Rooftop first, while the marble is cool and empty. The Duomo terraces at opening put the spires and the square below in morning light with a fraction of the company — then the cathedral floor on the way down as the lines form outside. When one ticket stacks several lines, the first slot pays every queue at once.
Build the day around your Last Supper slot. It is the city's one immovable appointment — fifteen minutes that everything else flexes around. Corso Magenta and Sant'Ambrogio fill the buffer hours beautifully.
Let the castle and Brera carry the peak. From noon the Duomo piazza and Galleria run at full compression. The Sforzesco courtyards, the Pieta Rondanini and Brera's collection take the same hours at half the density.
Finish on the water. Navigli at aperitivo hour is the Milanese evening perfected — arrive with the light, stay past it.

Where the crowds are

Piazza del Duomo & the Galleria: The city's compression chamber — three queues and every walking route in one place.
Navigli after six: The aperitivo mile at full evening density — a feature, not a fault.

Quiet places in Milan

The Castello courtyards & Sempione park: The fortress and its park swallow crowds whole.
Brera: Gallery, botanical garden and lanes at their own pace.
