Program details

Milan is one of the top fashion cities in the world but there is much more to see in this trendy, urban metropolis.



Enjoy a half-day tour of the impressive city of Milan. Take a look at the medieval Sforza Castle. An impressive medieval Castle and fortress, one of the most impressive urban castles in Europe. The Sforzesco was once the residence for the ruling family of Milan and now hosts several of the city's museums and art collections.



Visit the splendid Duomo Cathedral, a striking example of Gothic art and the largest church in Italy. Try to count the statues crammed onto its roof and façade, there are more than 3.200 of them, before following you guide in the visit of the interior.



Exit the Duomo and walk inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping gallery, a 19th-century glass vaulted shopping arcade. Brimming with fashionable shops and cafes, it used to be the connecting path between the Cathedral and the La Scala opera house, so the ladies could stay dry in their way to the theatre in case of rain.



At the end of the Galleria, you arrive at Milan’s most famous Opera House: the fabulous La Scala theatre. Founded in 1778 and still in use, some of the world’s greatest musicians and opera singers have performed here including Pavarotti, Maria Callas and Giuseppe Verdi. Your entrance ticket provides 24 hours admission to the theatre and museum, so you can return the next day.
