Your journey begins at the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan’s beloved “living room” and a 19th-century architectural gem. Wander through the glass-domed arcade and hear about its historic cafés and role as a hub of social life.
Pause at the legendary bull mosaic beneath the central dome. Local lore says spinning your heel on it brings good luck. Continue to La Scala Square, home to the world-famous Teatro alla Scala. Admire the neoclassical theatre and the statue of Leonardo da Vinci, a tribute to Milan’s Renaissance spirit.
Walk along the bustling Via Dante and slip into the atmospheric Piazza dei Mercanti, once the medieval heart of civic life. Discover Palazzo della Ragione, the seat of municipal power since the 13th century. Hear tales of trade, politics, and Milan’s rise as a city of influence.
Next, visit Piazza degli Affari, the hub of Italy’s financial world. See Palazzo Mezzanotte, home to the Italian Stock Exchange, and the provocative sculpture “L.O.V.E.” by Maurizio Cattelan—one of Milan’s most debated modern icons.
Your final stop is the magnificent Piazza del Duomo, presided over by the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II. Step inside the Duomo di Milano, Italy’s largest church and a soaring Gothic masterpiece. With skip-the-line entry, explore its richly decorated interior and learn about centuries of devotion, art, and architecture.
If you select the terrace option, take the elevator to the rooftop. Walk among spires, statues, and gargoyles, and enjoy sweeping views of both historic and modern Milan.
