Discover Milan's main attractions on this 3-hour free tour with Citywalkers local guides
Tours in Milan are offered by our partners, Citywalkers.
Many people’s preconceptions of Milan start with big business and fashion catwalks, and end with famous football clubs. All of these are true, but there is so much more to Milan, Italy’s thriving financial centre, than you may have thought! With a history stretching back to Roman times, Milan has lived through Napoleonic rule, been part of Austria, played a significant role in the unification of Italy and was home to the fascist movement of the 20s and 30s. Since the post-war boom of the 50s and 60s Milan has become the glittering metropolis that you see today, with its fascinating skyline punctuated with incredible modern designs and a vibrant, bustling feeling that this city really means business!
Milan has its share of world-famous sights and, like most cities in Italy, is worth exploring on foot. The soaring gothic facade of the Duomo, Milan’s incredible, must-see cathedral, rises gracefully over the piazza at the heart of the city, the perfect place to start a walking tour with our partners in Milan, Citywalkers. Just a stone’s throw away is the famous Scala Opera, beautifully connected to the Duomo via Milan’s exclusive shopping arcade, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Nearby is the impressive mediaeval fortress Sforza Castle, built by the ruling Sforza family in the 15th century – the family that later commissioned Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Last Supper, also to be found in Milan!
Let your local, expert guide from Citywalkers lead you around these famous sights on their Free Walking Tour, while telling you the fascinating and unexpected stories behind them, before heading further afield to lesser-known, but no less interesting spots! For those interested in discovering Milan’s glittering world of Haute Couture and exploring more of Milan’s elegant neighbourhoods, Citywalkers have further tours on offer for anyone who wants even more Milan!
