Milan Evolved: Private Walking Tour of Modern Architecture & Historic Brera

A Journey Through Milan’s Contemporary Design and Historic Heritage

What happens when centuries of history meet a city constantly reinventing itself? Milan offers the answer through its architecture, art, and unexpected green spaces.

Explore the contrast between old and new with your private guide, from the striking skyline of Piazza Gae Aulenti and the green towers of Bosco Verticale to the modern landscape of Biblioteca degli Alberi. Beyond the contemporary district, discover another side of Milan through Eataly Milano Smeraldo, housed in a former theater, the unusual twin façade of Santa Maria Incoronata, and the historic Basilica of San Simpliciano. In the artistic neighborhood of Brera, centuries of creativity come together around the renowned Pinacoteca di Brera and the peaceful Brera Botanical Garden.
