Tourism in Milan: unmissable attractions

Duomo di Milano

The Duomo di Milano, which is the Cathedral of Milan, is one of the most iconic monuments in the city and a must-see for any tourist, whether it is your first or fifth time in the city. This imposing Gothic-style cathedral, with its impressive spires and sculptures, is a testament to the architectural splendor of Milan. We recommend taking a guided tour to learn about its artistic features and, if you can, go up to its roof to enjoy impressive views of the city and even the Alps in the distance.

What about a visit and game in San Siro?

If you are a football fan, you will know that this is a visit that you cannot miss on your Milan itinerary. The Giuseppe Meazza stadium, known as San Siro, is home to two of the country's most important clubs: AC Milan and the famous Inter Milan. The stadium offers guided tours to learn about the history and highlights of the stadium. And, if you want to live the true experience and atmosphere of Italian football, stay and experience a live match at the legendary San Siro!

The Last Supper (La Última Cena)

The Cenacolo Vinciano is a must-see stop for art lovers. This work, one of the most famous by its author, Leonardo Da Vinci (and in artistic history), is a clear example of the Renaissance era. It can be seen live and direct at the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Its unique representation of one of the most iconic moments in Christian history attracts millions of tourists every year, so we recommend you book your ticket in advance, especially if you go to the city for a very short time, so you can be sure to see this impressive work.

Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery

The luxury and elegance of Milan reside in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest (and most elegant!) in the world. This gallery is much more than a place to shop, it is a monument that dates back to a historical moment and a cultural current. It is home to haute couture boutiques, elegant cafes, and gourmet restaurants, so whether you are shopping or not, this is a visit that you cannot miss during your stay in Milan.

Scala Theater (Teatro alla Scala)

Whether or not you are a lover of opera and classical music, the Teatro alla Scala is an essential stop. Opened in 1778, the theater has been the scene of many of the world's most important operas, as well as shows by award-winning singers and musicians. Guided tours are offered in Italian, French, and English at various times throughout the day, and you can access them for less than 15 euros per adult. We recommend doing it since you will not only get to know the theater inside, with its incredible rooms and works of art, but you will also learn about its emblematic history.

Castello Sforzesco

Milan has a medieval past and you can get to know it with a visit to the Sforzesco castle. This imposing architectural work, built in the 15th century by the Sforza family, is a testimony to the greatness and power of the Renaissance era. Today, it houses several museums of works of art, sculptures, and historical artifacts, including Michelangelo's famous work, "The Rondanini Pieta." Dedicate an entire afternoon to have time to stroll through its gardens, a haven of peace in the middle of the bustle of the city, ideal for digesting and integrating all the art and history that you will absorb from the city.

Navigli

The Navigli district is a different place from the big city. Its ancient canals add a touch of romance to everyday life, as you can stroll along the banks while discovering specialty cafes, old bars, and antique markets. At night, the district takes on a charming air; Its bars and streets next to the water are filled with lights and the weather usually provides the ideal time to enjoy a dinner under the moonlight.

Pinacoteca di Brera

The Pinacoteca di Brera, one of the most important art galleries in Milan, is another alternative to immerse yourself in Italian art. It is special for those who love the well-known fine arts, as it has an impressive collection that spans from the Renaissance to the 20th century, and houses original works by renowned artists, such as Caravaggio, Raphael, and Tintoretto. A perfect place for a quiet afternoon, learning and marveling at what man is capable of transmitting through a work of art.
