San Carlo al Lazzaretto

Two neoclassical historical gates with a long-disputed naming history grandly welcome visitors to Central Milan’s hip, multicultural district.

Kids and adults alike will be amazed at the wonder of space as they learn and have fun watching mesmerizing star shows in an elegant 1920s building.

A perfect escape from the bustle of the city center, this tree-lined park has a planetarium, monuments and museums.

Two of Milan’s best contemporary and modern art galleries are housed within this lavish villa that also features sprawling gardens popular with locals.

The district surrounding this piazza is where many visitors come to eat and sleep, thanks to its restaurants and hotels, modern architecture and green spaces.

See giant clams, T-rex skeletons and a pygmy elephant at this natural history museum that’s one of the oldest of its kind in Europe.
