Activity itinerary

Piazza Mercanti
  • 10m
Piazza Mercanti is a captivating slice of Milan’s medieval past, tucked away from the modern hustle. Surrounded by historic buildings and ancient arcades, this square once served as the heart of the city’s commercial life. It’s a peaceful, almost timeless spot where you can soak in Milan’s rich history, from the stunning Palazzo della Ragione to the medieval Torre dei Cenci. With its charming atmosphere, Piazza Mercanti feels like stepping back in time, offering a serene escape into Milan’s roots amidst the urban pulse
Duomo di Milano
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Piazza del Duomo is Milan’s beating heart — a grand, open space where locals and visitors gather under the gaze of one of the most iconic cathedrals in the world. The Duomo, with its forest of spires and delicate marble lacework, looks more like a dream than a building. It took nearly six centuries to complete and still manages to take your breath away. From the square, you can admire the golden Madonnina on top, watch the light play on the white marble, and soak in the energy of the city — all without stepping inside
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
  • 5m
Step into Milan's iconic Galleria, where history meets high fashion. A stunning blend of elegant architecture, luxury boutiques, and timeless charm – the perfect spot to shop, sip, and soak in the city's chic vibe.
Piazza Affari
  • 5m
The middle finger sculpture in Piazza Affari, right in the heart of Milan's financial district, is an artwork by middle finger artist Maurizio Cattelan. It’s a provocative piece, meant to challenge the power structures and offer a critical commentary on the financial and political systems that dominate the area. While some might interpret it as an expression of disdain or defiance, others could see it as a form of rebellious love—pointing out the flaws and contradictions of the system, perhaps in an effort to spark conversation and reflection. It's definitely not just hate; it's art that challenges, questions, and opens the door to interpretation. Cattelan is known for this kind of boundary-pushing work!
Cinque Vie
  • 30m
The Cinque Vie area is Milan’s hidden gem, a labyrinth of ancient, winding streets where history and cool converge. Steeped in mystery, this charming district is full of narrow alleys, medieval buildings, and boutique shops that capture the city’s timeless elegance. It’s the perfect spot for those who want to discover Milan’s secret side, away from the bustling crowds, where every corner tells a story of the city’s rich past and vibrant present.
Imperial Palace Maximian
  • 10m
The Roman ruins along Via Brisa offer a fascinating glimpse into Milan's ancient past, tucked away in the heart of the city. This quiet street is home to remnants of Roman walls, providing a stark contrast to the modern surroundings. The ruins are part of Milan’s ancient defensive structures, once guarding the city during the Roman Empire. Today, they serve as an intriguing historical backdrop, inviting curious wanderers to explore Milan’s roots and appreciate the layers of history hidden beneath its modern façade. It’s a spot where past and present beautifully collide.
Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
  • 10m
San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, often called Milan's "Sistine Chapel," is a hidden masterpiece in the heart of the city. Built between 1503 and 1518, this 16th-century church was part of the Monastero Maggiore, Milan’s most important Benedictine convent for noble women. The church was designed with two distinct areas: one for the nuns, separated by a dividing wall, and one for the lay faithful. This separation remained until 1794
