Why take this tour?

With an expert local guide by your side, explore the culture, vibe, iconic monuments, elegant promenades, and artistic movements of this bustling Italian city.

First, you'll visit one of the most authentic places in Milan, the Navigli. This vibrant neighborhood serves as the favored haven for locals seeking to immerse themselves in the quintessential Milanese tradition: the Aperitivo—a world-renowned ritual. Here, amidst the lively atmosphere, residents indulge in the art of partaking, transforming the experience into a celebration of camaraderie and the city's rich cultural tapestry. Notice the picturesque canals that connect the heart of Milan with the main cities around.

Next, you'll visit the San Lorenzo columns, one of the last archaeological Roman sites in the city, as well as Piazza Affari, the heart of the Milan Stock Exchange. Continue to follow your local guide until Piazza Mercanti, an authentic hidden gem just a few steps from the Duomo.

Finally, take in La Scala Opera House, the Temple of Opera, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an opulent shopping mall topped with vaulted glass and iron arcades. Your guide will provide comprehensive insight into this beautiful and famous area of the city. End your tour on a high note by admiring the beautiful Gothic Duomo Cathedral from the outside—an architectural wonder and the third-largest Catholic Church in the world.
