Start at Piazza del Duomo
and walk through Milan's historic center

With a certified local guide, start from Piazza del Duomo and walk through Milan's old town for about 2 hours 30 minutes. The tour is led directly in English or Turkish without an interpreter, at the group's pace.

Hear the stories behind the cathedral exterior

Take a close look at the cathedral's exterior in Piazza del Duomo. You hear about the centuries-long construction, the marble quarried at Candoglia and carried along the canals, and the stories hidden in the cathedral's statues.

Next to the cathedral stands Palazzo Reale, home to Milan's rulers for centuries.

Walk quiet streets to the Galleria and Piazza della Scala

Pass under the glass dome of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and continue to Piazza della Scala in front of the La Scala opera house. A statue of Leonardo da Vinci stands in the middle of the square.

As you walk the quiet streets linking the landmarks, you hear why Milan looks the way it does, who lived here, and how the city has changed over time.

※ This is a walking tour of the monuments' exteriors, and admission tickets are not included.
