Best walking tour in Milan
The meeting point of the walking tour in Milan is ドゥオーモ広場. Piazza del Duomo is the favorite and most photographed attraction by tourists. It represents a symbol of union and is of course the main square in Milan. Thousands of people visit it every year. Here you can find many bars, restaurants and also hostels within a few meters.
This rectangular square, one of the largest in Italy, was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni. In the center of the square, you’ll see the equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II. The statue represents Vittorio who holds a big horse. If you’ll pay attention you’ll see two dates engraved. The first one is in memory of the king’s first entry into Milan, while the second one is for the inauguration of the monument. Don’t forget to admire the majestic Duomo and take a photo!
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
The next iconic place you’ll visit will be the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a symbolic monument of Milan. In the past, it was known as “il Salotto di Milano” as it was frequented by the bourgeoisie. They spent their time in elegant shops, restaurants, and cafés in the Galleria. The project’s original idea was to build a large street where people could walk, have an aperitif, or have dinner after the Opera.
The Gallery was the monument to be most affected during the bombing in August 1943. It has been rebuilt years later. This amazing monument has been a source of inspiration for many other buildings. For example, a similar Galleria in Naples, but also abroad in Toronto and Houston.
Sforzesco Castle
Afterward just ten minutes by walk, you’ll arrive at the main castle of Milan.
Sforzesco Castle is one of the most beautiful fortified buildings in Italy and Europe. The castle had many owners, first the Visconti and then the Sforza. It was built by Francesco Sforza. Today it hosts some of the most important museums of Milan such as the Egyptian Museum, the Pinacoteca, and the Museum of Arts. The guide will tell you the secrets of this particular castle. For example, according to a legend, there is a secret tunnel in the basement of the castle! Inside you can visit these important cultural spaces, but also you can spend your time admiring the landscape it offers. You can admire the large courtyards and take a walk to Parco Sempione. This park, just a few minutes from the castle, is a big city park, and it’s a must-see in Milan!
Teatro Alla Scala
During the tour, you’ll visit one of the most famous theaters in the world. We are talking about Teatro Alla Scala.
Teatro Alla Scala is the best cultural symbol in Milan. It’s also the largest and most important opera house in the world. It has also 250 years of history and is appreciated all over the world for its majestic architecture and its works and performances. The greatest dancers in the world such as Roberto Bolle and Carla Fracci have performed here. But also the greatest singers, musicians, and étoiles.
This theater was built following the fire that destroyed the previous theater in 1776, the Regio Ducale. During the First World War, it remained closed for many months. The end of Italy’s participation in the war was announced on stage at Teatro Alla Scala. From that moment the theater became an autonomous body and no longer functional thanks to donations.
Navigli
The last spot you’ll visit will be the Navigli, a very cool area of Milan.
The Navigli area is one of the most attractive residential areas of the city. The guide will take you to discover this ancient area and its artificial canals crossed by small bridges. This area is very busy during the day and especially during the night. Here you’ll find a lot of lively clubs, typical restaurants, and bars, and you’ll breathe a special atmosphere.
