63 things to do in Milan at least once in a lifetime

When you live in a city, whether you are a local or an outsider, you often take so many things for granted. Like those who live near Venice and rarely go there, or those who live in Rome and have never entered the Colosseum. Who knows why when we travel we try to visit everything about a city. From the foundations to the roofs, but when it comes to our home we lose pieces. I, for example, have been in Milan for years and still have not been to see the Cenacolo Vinciano. A disgrace. Yes I know. So now I will try to list some things that must be done at least once in a lifetime in Milan.

By everyone eh, no one excluded. Whether you are a tourist or not, these are things that have to be experienced. (The list is not from the most important, it is a list of things in no particular order)

Sitting down for a drink in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

It may be trivial but it was only right to include it among the once-in-a-lifetime things to do in Milan, but how many of you have ever sat down in the Galleria’s historical venues, Biffi, Savini or Camparino to have a drink? Very few, I’m sure. The Galleria as much as it is the most charming, elegant and chic thing in the city, you never consider it a meeting place, unless you are a tourist. Only then does the choice of having an aperitif somewhere fall to the Galleria. Too touristy, it is taken for granted, when in fact it is one of the most visited attractions in the world.

Three rides on the bull’s balls

Still staying downtown and in the Galleria, you cannot miss the ride on the bull’s balls, actually 3. As a good luck charm. In Rome you throw the coin inside the Trevi Fountain, in Milan you step on the balls of the poor bull that by now has its family treasures smashed by how many people pass over it. But always tourists are doing the ritual. Rarely do you meet a local in the Galleria doing it. Instead it is to be marked as one of the things to do at least once in a lifetime in Milan.

Having breakfast at Marchesi’s

You couldn’t name her, one of Milan’s oldest pastry shops. Overlooking the Marchesi Octagon, it is synonymous with excellence, a tradition that has been going on since 1824. Elegant and refined, it is an experience to be had.

Climb up to the terrace of the Duomo

Here, too, you have to take notes. Because the spectacle is unique. And then you can admire up close the Duomo’s spires, which are masterpieces of Gothic art. Also try to catch a glimpse of the boxer among all the sacred and patron figures. And then according to a recent analysis, the Duomo is the building with one of the most beautiful views in Europe. You don’t want to miss it. If you’ve never been up there, do it.

Discover Milan’s Walk of Fame

Milan also has its own Walk of Fame like the American one in Largo Corsia dei Servi. It is a tribute to the television personalities of the 1980s and 1990s and hosts names such as Sylvester Stallone and Sophia Loren, but also the famous couple Raimondo Vianello . As well as The Lady in Yellow, Angela Lansbury.

Step inside the Duomo

Well, the Cathedral is not only beautiful from above. You will see the magic that will overwhelm you when you cross the threshold. The Duomo is breathtakingly beautiful with its huge pillars, cross vaults, stained glass windows, and polychrome marble. In short whether you are a believer or not a visit to the Duomo must be made among the once in a lifetime things to do in Milan. Think that I know people who after more than 10 years here have never entered. Sacrilege!

Poking through the stalls of the Navigli Vintage market.

Another must-do activity is to take a trip to the Navigli Vintage Market on Saturdays and the last Sunday of the month to discover the Milan of yesteryear. You will feel like you are not even in Milan, the waterways, the antiques on display. A timeless dimension will envelop you. To try.

Enter Eclyss at Christmas

Eclyss Home & Decor is the brand for those who have always wanted to make their home elegant and unique, with class, style and a contemporary touch. It is located at the end of Navigli. Natal and becomes a real Christmas village with any decoration you can imagine. It deserves because it conveys a magic like no other place drop by in December and you will be dazzled by so much enchantment.

Where: Ripa di Porta Ticinese, 73

Taking a tour of Milan’s Fish Market.

Why is it worth a tour? Because in addition to being one of the largest markets in the world, it is an undiscovered realm of fishermen who live by night bringing unique delicacies from distant seas. Here you will find swordfish, shellfish, bream, sea bass, oysters, sole. Every kind of edible creature that lives at the bottom of the sea can be found here. 11 thousand square meters of fish market. A Saturday morning is up for us to visit it and be overwhelmed by the rather bizarre atmosphere.

Admiring the flamingos

If you want to surprise a friend, a relative who is coming to visit or if you want to admire something different, you can come to the Palestro area, at 7 Cappuccini Street, and peek through the treetops of Villa Invernizzi. Here you will find a dozen placid flamingos. Peculiar no? True, flamingos can be seen either at the zoo or in their native place, in Africa or elsewhere. Certainly seen free in these pristine locations of the world must be spectacular, but even in a garden of a magnificent villa in the heart of the city of Milan is not bad. Is it or is it not to be included among the once-in-a-lifetime things to do in Milan?

Observe the city’s Art Nouveau buildings

Eyes up and wander the streets of Porta Venezia especially, to admire the beautiful Art Nouveau palaces. Very, very beautiful ones. Between Palazzo Castiglioni, Casa Campanini and other wonderful buildings there is something to lose your head over.

See the Cenacolo Vinciano

Well can you be in Milan and not see Leonardo’s Last Supper? I admit that in the eight years I’ve been here, I still haven’t seen it. Inexcusable. I know, I will make up for it. You guys don’t make my mistake and book a visit. Among the things to do in Milan once in a lifetime this is a must.

Admire the city from above

A drink from above, a walk on the terraces of the Duomo, or a climb on a Belvedere. It’s a must to enjoy the crazy view you get by climbing above some of Milan’s palaces, rooftops. Whether it is above Torre Branca, on the Belvedere of Palazzo Lombardia or some terrace. It is very worthwhile.

Going to Peck’s

Peck’s is the realm of good taste, of superfine food, where you can find excellent products of all kinds in any season, from fruit to vegetables, from wine to fresh pasta, from cold cuts to cheese to wine. Everything here is extraordinary. Peck is the ultimate boutique of fine food. The temple of gastronomy. Even if you don’t have to buy anything, it’s worth a visit for the beauty of the retail space. Elegant, well-groomed, clean and gleaming. Gorgeous. There are several stores in Milan. The most iconic is the one on Via Spadari in the Duomo area.

Eating a schnitzel

Want to pass through Milan and not nibble on a Milanese schnitzel? Either tall on the bone or flat on an elephant’s ear, as long as it’s fried in butter and good. Then you choose the one you want according to everyone’s taste. In Milan there are some great places to eat it. You cannot exempt yourself!

Entering a boutique in via Montenapoleone

Whether or not you can afford some luxury accessories or clothes from the boutiques in the Fashion Quadrilateral, it doesn’t matter. But getting in there and showing off a bit is in it among the things to do at least once in your life in Milan. No embarrassment, in the end you can be regular shoppers who walk in, peek and leave. Getting in is free eh!

Drinking coffee at Cova’s

A post shared by Pasticceria Cova (@pasticceriacova)

A Milanese institution, Cova is a gem of a pastry shop dating back to 1817 where you can sit and be served and revered by liveried waiters in a super chic, cozy and warm environment. Impeccable and full of charm, Cova will transport you to 19th-century Milan’s well-to-do. Try it to believe.

Take a tour of the Brera district

Brera is chic, Brera is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. Elegant, with colorful narrow streets, small restaurants and cafes that feel like you’re in Paris. You will fall in love with the neighborhood. And if you do, have your palm read by the fortune tellers who enliven the nights in the neighborhood. Very quirky as an adventure, so much so that it makes it on the list of things to do at least once in a lifetime in Milan.

Stroll down the creepiest street in Milan.

There is a street in Milan, the creepiest as well as the narrowest, where Italy’s first serial killer took up residence. Even now it is a street that inspires some fear, especially if you know the story. Not anymore, but taking a walk down it is really curious.

Entering the Pinacoteca di Brera

One of the most important museums in the city, the Pinacoteca is an authentic jewel where you can admire world masterpieces, from Francisco Hayez ‘s Il Bacio to Caravaggio, Piero della Francesca, Raphael and Mantegna. Plus Bramante, Bellini, Veronese and Tintoretto. A treasure chest containing gems of rare beauty.

Step inside the Brera Botanical Garden.

A post shared by Orto botanico di Brera 🌿 (@ortobotanicodibrera)

A secret garden in the heart of the city, a green lung with more than 1,000 plant species from around the world. In the 18th century it served as a real Botanical Garden with the function of high scientific education in which to study the medicinal species grown within its walls. Today it is a university museum where biodiversity is protected, knowledge of plant sciences is spread, and where it is possible to have a unique experience to discover the beauty of the botanical universe. It was established back in 1774 at the behest of Maria Theresa of Austria. A place rich in history and beauty to discover, and then getting in is free so it deserves even more no?

Take a sip of water from the dragons

Milan is dotted with green drinking fountains with a dragon-shaped faucet. An icon of the city, life-saving in summer especially. Take a sip of water while discovering the city.

Discover the igloo houses

Never seen the houses in the news district? Then go ahead! Take a tour of them. It’s like being in the Smurfs’ Village. Little spherical houses from the early 1900s dot La Maggiolina: picturesque and somewhat fairy-tale setting.

Going to Teatro alla Scala

Whether you are a music fan or not, a detour to La Scala Theater is more than worthwhile, almost as much as going to the Duomo. The Temple of World Opera is a stop that will fill your heart. The golden frills, the fiery red curtain, the huge chandelier in the center of the hall. You can breathe pure magic here. If you then think that royalty, famous actors, celebrities, politicians and so many other personalities have passed through here, you will be even more overwhelmed by the beauty. I recommend a ballet among the things to do at least once in your life in Milan. The La Scala Ballet Company is pure dancing art.

Going to the Fuori Salone

The Salone del Mobile is an event that lights up and fills the city every year. And Fuorisalone, meaning all the Salone side events around, must be experienced. Installations in locations that cannot usually be visited, palaces, villas, galleries, courtyards. The city becomes a continuous open-air event. Isola, Brera, the 5 Streets. From North to South Milan revives itself by offering everything to the city. It is worth wandering around, even without a Fuorisalone map, and unearth what is beautiful around.

Eating a panzerotto by Luini

Among the things to do in Milan at least once in a lifetime is Luini. Unmissable are its panzerotti, as old as time. Next to the Duomo, they are a joy for the palate and for the pocket as you can eat without spending a fortune while staying downtown. Street food, true, not gourmet cuisine but they are very deserving.

Take a sip of water from the miraculous spring

Santa Maria alla Fontana is a church in Milan that features a legend. Miraculous water seems to flow from its 11 taps. In ancient times, a spring gushed out under this shrine and its waters flowed into a basin located in front of the shrine. The water was thought to have thaumaturgic properties, that is, it had miraculous powers and could heal evil.

It seems that Charles II d’Amboise himself, governor of Milan, recovered from a bad illness in 1507 after drinking its water and wanted to erect the church given the blessing he received. Eleven “taps” remain today from the medieval stone, from which water still flows that can be drunk. For those who want to know the reality of the facts, we reveal that now the water that comes out comes from the aqueducts of the city of Milan.

But to believe that it is still as it once was doesn’t cost anything does it? And it gives a hint of wonder to life.

Visiting the Sistine Chapel in Milan

San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore can truly be called the Sistine Chapel of Milan. It is a church where once stood a women’s monastery belonging to the Benedictine order. The interior is entirely frescoed that not an inch is left blank. It is truly breathtaking. Mark it down and include it among the things to do in Milan at least once in your life.

Another religious institution that can be called the Sistine Chapel is the Certosa di Garegnano, a beautifully frescoed and beautiful church. In short, one of the two must be seen. The former more central and more convenient perhaps, the latter deserves a slightly longer trip but justified by the beauty of the place.

Visiting Leonardo Da Vinci ‘s Vineyard (no longer visitable as of 9/30/23)

Leonardo da Vinci stayed quite a bit here in Milan, and there are several places and works related to him, such as the Vigna. A gift in 1498 that the Duke of Milan Ludovico il Moro made to the Tuscan master in recognition of the admirable works with which Leonardo was beautifying the city. A place where it seems that time is suspended and Leonardo’s presence still lives and reigns here in this enchanting secret garden. Recently purchased by the multinational LVMH, it is no longer open to the public as of September 30, 2023.

Sitting on the world’s longest bench

Among the once-in-a-lifetime things to do in Milan is to sit on the world’s longest bench. Okay, it’s nothing extraordinary compared to a Leonardo da Vinci or the paintings in the Pinacoteca di Brera, however, it does a certain something to sit on a bench that measures a whopping 208 meters. We are at the Portello Park.

Playing wireless telephone in the Piazza dei Mercanti

Merchants’ Square is built in such a way that you can hear a person’s voice on the opposite corner from where the latter is standing. The center of city life in medieval times, it is now one of Milan’s squares to visit and play wireless telephone precisely because of this strange acoustics. By placing one on the opposite side of the other, you can hear the voice even at a great distance. But be careful to find the exact spot. As we read: It really seems tobe the conformation of the structure of the cross vault, an architectural covering formed by the longitudinal intersection of two barrel vaults, that creates this wireless telephone phenomenon. The sound is channeled and reported from the opposite side in the form of a faint whisper.

Visiting the Castello Sforzesco

An obligatory stop on the list of things to do at least once in a lifetime in Milan is the Castello Sforzesco. A fortified complex located in Milan just outside the city’s historic center. It was erected in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, who had recently become Duke of Milan. Besides being a symbol of Milan and one of the largest castles in Europe. Now it has become a cultural center worthy of mention. Inside it is preserved Michelangelo’s Pietà Rondanini.

See an exhibition at the Royal Palace

Majestic, elegant and royal indeed. The palace was for many centuries the seat of the government of the city of Milan, the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, and then a royal residence until 1919, when it was acquired by the state and became a venue for exhibitions and displays. It is the most important cultural center in the city. Every year the proposal is varied, interesting and spans a wide range of fields. To be visited? Absolutely.

Go to the Piccolo Teatro

Another cultural experience, after the Teatro alla Scala, is the Piccolo Teatro. Besides being Italy’s first permanent theater, it produces and hosts shows of international importance. It is an icon of the city. Strehler, Grassi, Ronconi. Big names in the industry have passed through here. Even today, the theater is a destination for eminences in the theatrical field. Piccolo is the theater of the Milanese, with as many as 3 venues in the city. If you want to breathe some of that old-time air, buy your ticket and go there. You will not regret it.

Climb Mount Stella

Mount Stella is the little mountain of the Milanese, wanted by architect Piero Bottoni, who dedicated it to his wife Elsa Stella, after whom it is named. In reality, the mound is fake in that it was erected over the remains caused by the bombing carried out by Anglo-American forces during World War II and with other waste material. In short, a 50-meter high park that is not natural, let’s say. Very popular, though, with those who want some silence, greenery or a place to read in peace or play sports. For some it may be a bit trivial to include it among the things to do at least once in a lifetime in Milan, it’s no big deal. But have you ever climbed a fake mountain? Haven’t you? In Milan you can.

Getting lost in the Garden of the Righteous

Right here, under Mount Stella lies the Garden of the Righteous. A garden dedicated to those who have made Good their priority in life, sometimes even losing their lives in order to make the right choice. The park is inspired by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. It commemorates people who fought for rights during difficult historical periods, from Francoism to Nazism and so on. Noble people of spirit who put peace, goodness and others first. Walking here is inspiring.

Visiting the Monumental Cemetery

Mind you, there is nothing macabre about this, quite the contrary. Milan’s Monumental Cemetery is an open-air museum, almost like going to the Louvre by how many wonderful statues there are propping up the garden, not just graves. Also here you will find the tomb of the great Alessandro Manzoni lying under a large vault painted an almost blinding blue. And then Beccaria, Verri and other high Italian figures. In here , beauty lurks around every corner. Not only beauty, here one breathes reverence and culture at every step. I can’t help but include it among the things to do in Milan at least once in a lifetime.

Standing in the shade of a vertical forest

Milan has its own forest that extends vertically, we are talking about the famous Bosco Verticale skyscraper. A unicum in the world that has won numerous titles and awards for what it represents and novelty in the world of architecture. The Porta Nuova-Isola neighborhood where it is located is worth a walk. The Bosco will amaze you.

Visit the Laboratories of the Teatro alla Scala

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Accademia Teatro alla Scala (@accademiascala)

Why visit the Laboratories of the Teatro alla Scala? Because you will witness behind the scenes of one of the most important Theaters in the world. How the sets are built and all the wonderful things you see on stage when the curtain opens. La Scala’s ingenious craftsmen manage to create wonderful works. Just think that the sets are all painted down, standing up, as they used to be. And then the costumes, the tailors, the rehearsal rooms. The workshops are a little world within the world. Must see.

Admire Bramante’s perspective play.

If you take a trip downtown, go inside the Church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro to admire one of the most beautiful works in the city, Bramante ‘s “fake” apse. It is a perspective play executed by one of the greatest Italian artists. Given the little space available behind the Church to create a wide and wide apse as in the religious buildings we are used to seeing (think of the Duomo), Bramante still managed to give the idea of depths and give monumentality to the Church with an incredible play of perspective. From the entrance you will seem to admire an apse basin that is meters long, but if you get closer you will discover that it is about 95cm.

Drinking a Wrong at Bar Basso

Did you know that the wrong Negroni was born in Milan at Bar Basso of all places? Can you come to Milan without having one of the most drunk, ordered and known drinks in the very bar that created it? No come on, you can’t. It is named after a mistake made by Mirko Stocchetto, bar man at Bar Basso, who confused Gin with prosecco. And ta-dan, the cocktail was born.

Eating the panetùn

Not necessarily to be included among the things to do at least once in a lifetime in Milan eh, panettone is eaten just about everywhere. But Milan is the city of panettone with a long tradition behind it. During the holiday season you can find all kinds, delicious and there are many pastry shops in Milan that produce it. Don’t miss the event, King Panettone to unearth the latest and best artisanal novelties.

Visit the Pirelli HangarBicocca

Visit the Hangar because it is one of the largest exhibition spaces in Europe. 15 thousand square meters. It is huge, very tall. It is an industrial plant that produced locomotives converted into an institution dedicated to the production and promotion of contemporary art. So large that it houses the permanent exhibition The Seven Heavenly Palaces. An installation of 7 mammoth structures weighing 90 tons each and ranging in height from 13 to 19 meters. For this alone it is worth a visit.

Dining in a streetcar

We also point out this very special experience. Dining on the historic ATMosfera streetcar. A truly unusual dinner on top of an elegantly furnished old streetcar that takes you around the illuminated streets of the city, a gastronomic tour while admiring the beauty of the city from the comfort of your seat. For info, prices and reservations here.

Eating dumplings in Chinatown

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Federica Franzetti (@fede6961)

The Chinatown neighborhood is one of the most picturesque in the city. Everything here calls China, from the stores, to the restaurants, to the people who live there, most of whom are Sinic. Strolling down Paolo Sarpi Street is a must. But most of all savor the dumplings at one of the city’s most famous raviolerias. If you don’t know which one it is, just find the street-facing establishment with the longest waiting line. There are always people here. And the ravioli how good they are.

Don’t miss the Oh bej Oh bej fair!

The Oh bej! Oh bej! fair is Milan’s typical Christmas market. It is generally held from December 7, the day of Milan’s patron saint Sant’Ambrogio, until the following Sunday. A very old fair, it seems to have its roots as far back as 1288. The name derives from the exclamations of joy of Milanese children who willingly accepted gifts from the papal envoy: the Lombard expression“Oh bej! Oh bej!” translates into Italian “Oh belli! Oh belli!” The market takes place all around the Castello Sforzesco.

Discovering the remains of St. Ambrose inside the basilica of the same name.

How would you like to see the relic of the body of Milan’s patron saint? Saint Ambrose? In the crypt of the beautiful basilica of the same name lies the body of the saint. In addition to seeing the interior of a very ancient and amazing church, we are around 379, you can discover the body of the theologian, writer and bishop, later made a saint, who died in Milan, think in 397. Who knows what Milan was like in that far-off era.

Finding the holes in the devil’s horns

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Milanoguida (@milanoguida)

Since we are in the Sant’Ambrogio area, just to the side of the Basilica is the Devil’s Column where you will find two holes about halfway down. Here legend has it that St. Ambrose himself had the devil’s horns driven in during a confrontation, blocking him for an entire day. This is a column from the old Roman imperial palace in Milan, built by Emperor Maximian in the late 3rd century, at the time when the city became the capital of the Western Roman Empire.

Entering the church wallpapered with human bones

A bit macabre perhaps but worth a tour. Where the church and ossuary stand here, there used to be a hospital, shortly afterwards there was a cemetery to bury the dead. A chamber was erected beside it to collect the bones exhumed from the cemetery. In 1268 the prior and brothers who ruled the hospital had an ossuary built dedicated to various saints including St. Bernardine, destroyed by an earthquake, then rebuilt in 1695.

The walls of the building are almost completely covered with skulls and human bones that were in the old ossuary and cemetery that was closed by the administration of the Ospedale Maggiore. It is quite something to walk through a space entirely covered with human bones. Try it to believe.

Look for the building with your ears

In Milan, there is a building with ears. That’s right. We are at 10 Via Serbelloni, a beautiful area of Milan in which to take a tour if you happen to be there. In addition to the buildings to admire with spectacular hallways, you must discover the ear intercom. Something unusual to see in the city. It is in fact the first intercom made in Milan, now no longer usable. This ear made of bronze with superhuman dimensions, characterizes Palazzo Sola Busca, called “Ca’ de l’Oreggia.” It is the work of Adolfo Wildt.

Learning to see in the dark

An experience to have at least once is the one offered by the Institute for the Blind in Milan, Dialogue in the Dark. You will be surrounded by total darkness. Blind guides will lead you along a path where you will get to completely change the perspective with which you do the most normal things, such as a walk or drinking coffee. This is not about simulating blindness, but rather seeing reality in another way. By having sight always on, the other senses are a little more “weakened,” if you will. Here in this course you will learn to understand yourself more and look at the world around you with a different “look.”

Discover the rainbow district

No we are not talking about Porta Venezia but about Via Lincoln in the Cinque Giornate area. This is the working-class village also nicknamed “Rainbow Quarter” because of the pastel hues of its houses. A bit like Burano in Venice or Painted Ladies in San Francisco.

Just for the fairer sex: strolling through the garden of virgins

Why only for the fairer sex? Because it is a green area of the city where men are not allowed. We are talking about the Garden of the Virgins inside the Catholic University. Also known as the Garden of St. Catherine of Alexandria. It is located at the end of the central portico, in the direction of the Aula Magna. St. Catherine of Alexandria, virgin and martyr, patroness of studies and some social categories of teaching bears the name of this place where maidens can retreat to a green, cozy, flower-filled space where males have no access.

Browsing inside the old Engraving Center.

Inside a 17th-century farmhouse that is among the oldest in the city hides a center that continues a now-lost art, that of engraving. Crossing the threshold of this place will take you back in time. Inside the courtyard still operates Gigi Pedroli and his print shop, which prefers the ancient hand press. Engraving courses can also be taken here for those who want to rediscover this art. We are on the Navigli.

Visiting the Ikeda Cultural Center

Very special as an experience, visiting the Buddhist center in Milan, one of the largest in Europe . It is not the only one in Milan but certainly the most impressive, surrounded by a body of water it is a truly conciliatory place. It is open every day.

Attend a magical Candlelight concert

Give yourself the chance to attend a series of Candlelight concerts with candlelight and live music at some of Milan’s most iconic locations. From Queen to Ennio Morricone, Coldplay to Ludovico Einaudi. Plus Vasco Rossi, Jovanotti, Pino Daniele and many others. Candlelight dedicates tributes to a wide variety of musical genres. Find the one that suits you and experience a magical evening.

Have a drink in the world’s smallest bar

Going out for a drink is not that unusual or even that Milanese. But doing it in the world’s smallest bar? Four square meters of space for only four people. Then if there is no more room, the drink is taken from a hole in the wall and drunk standing outside. An experience worth trying, no? The place is called Backdoor 43 and is located on the Navigli.

Doing some shopping at East Market.

Why do it once in a lifetime in Milan? If you like vintage you absolutely have to come there, in addition to other very nice vintage markets in the city. We are on Via Mecenate in a huge space chock full of clothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, design. All exclusively vintage. For an immersion in the 80s and beyond. Every third Sunday of the month.

Taking a sauna inside a streetcar

Yes, you read that right. In Milan, you can take a sauna inside a streetcar. We are at QC terme, the perfect place to relax and unplug in the middle of the city center. Worth a visit.

Step inside a real submarine

Also special. We are at the Museum of Science and Technology and here you can visit the first submarine built in Italy after World War II, the S 506 Enrico Toti. In addition to visiting the museum you can go inside and experience the thrill of being a real sailor. Book your visit here.

Following in the footsteps of Leonardo Da Vinci

Not only Vigna and Cenacolo, there is so much more to Milan. Among the things to do at least once in your life is to trace the footsteps of the Tuscan genius in the city, between the Codex Atlanticus at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and his inventions at the Museum of Science and Technology and the Leonardo3 Museum, there is so much to discover. Read about all the stops here.

Visiting Villa Necchi Campiglio

A stop at this historic mansion is a must. A house-museum that is now part of the FAI circuit. If you happen to pass by go there. It really is a little gem. Plus its garden is really an oasis of peace in the city. There is also a bar accessible separately from the villa where you can go freely. An idyllic place.

Discover the history of the Twin Churches

From the outside it looks like two churches but inside you discover a unique environment. One church but with two facades. It seems that behind this construction lies a story of love and betrayal dating back to the 15th century.

How many have you done?
