🗺️ Your Itinerary - An Immersion in the Heart of Milan

Duomo di Milano

Your tour begins in Piazza del Duomo, where the majestic Duomo di Milano welcomes you with its spires and 3,400 statues. The guide will accompany you to discover the Gothic cathedral, and you will be able to admire the five naves, the stained glass windows—the largest in Italy—and the crypt of San Carlo Borromeo.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Teatro alla Scala

A few steps away, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan’s "living room," will surprise you with its historic mosaics, legendary cafés, and luxury boutiques. A charming walk between elegance and tradition leads us to Teatro alla Scala: since 1778, this opera house has hosted the giants of music—Verdi, Puccini, Maria Callas. Piazza della Scala with the statue of Leonardo is the cultural heart of Milan.

Castello Sforzesco

A short walk along Via Dante will lead you to Castello Sforzesco, an imposing Renaissance fortress. You will explore the inner courtyards, towers, and military architecture that still impresses, while the guide tells you the stories of the Dukes of Milan.
