Enjoy a half day tour in the wonderful city of Milan! Discover the best of the city with a local, knowledgeable guide.

Begin your tour from outside the great, medieval “Castello Sforzesco,” one of the most impressive urban castles in Europe! You will meet your expert guide here to start your day of exploration! Your guide will dive into its eventful history: once a residence of the ruling Sforza family of Milan and a military fortress, it was partly destroyed in times of war. Despite the hardships, the Milanese never gave up on their castle. It was rebuilt and is now home to numerous museums, including the Pinacoteca, the Egyptian Museum, and the Museum of Ancient Art.

Next, your guide will head towards the majestic Cathedral of Milan. After skipping the lines, your expert guide will reveal the secrets of Italy’s largest church, answering any questions you may have. The Cathedral of Milan is a fantastic expression of Gothic art in Italy. It is home to the famous, copper "Madonnina" as well as more than 3,200 statues in the center of its incredible facade. Inside the cathedral, you can find wonderful stained-glass windows and priceless masterpieces from the fourteenth century until present day.

After discovering the Cathedral of Milan, you can enjoy a relaxing walk inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, full of trendy cafes and shops. Wander throughout the boutiques of Italy’s most renowned fashion designers and allow them to inspire you for the next season.

Centuries ago, the gallery linked the Duomo and the Teatro della Scala allowing the noble women to protect themselves from the rain on their way to the theater. In honor of its history, your tour will finish here - at the fabulous Teatro della Scala. Founded in 1778 as a court theater, it has seen some of the world's greatest musicians and opera singers perform, such as PavarottiMaria Callas and Giuseppe Verdi and continues to be one of the symbols of Italy and Europe.
