15 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedPiazza del Duomo is Milan’s beating heart — a grand, open space where locals and visitors gather under the gaze of one of the most iconic cathedrals in the world. The Duomo, with its forest of spires and delicate marble lacework, looks more like a dream than a building. It took nearly six centuries to complete and still manages to take your breath away. From the square, you can admire the golden Madonnina on top, watch the light play on the white marble, and soak in the energy of the city — all without stepping insideGalleria Vittorio Emanuele II
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeStep into Milan's iconic Galleria, where history meets high fashion. A stunning blend of elegant architecture, luxury boutiques, and timeless charm – the perfect spot to shop, sip, and soak in the city's chic vibe.Piazza Affari
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe middle finger sculpture in Piazza Affari, right in the heart of Milan's financial district, is an artwork by middle finger artist Maurizio Cattelan. It’s a provocative piece, meant to challenge the power structures and offer a critical commentary on the financial and political systems that dominate the area. While some might interpret it as an expression of disdain or defiance, others could see it as a form of rebellious love—pointing out the flaws and contradictions of the system, perhaps in an effort to spark conversation and reflection. It's definitely not just hate; it's art that challenges, questions, and opens the door to interpretation. Cattelan is known for this kind of boundary-pushing work!Cinque Vie

Steeped in mystery, this charming district is full of narrow alleys, medieval buildings, and boutique shops that capture the city’s timeless elegance.

10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Roman ruins along Via Brisa offer a fascinating glimpse into Milan's ancient past, tucked away in the heart of the city. This quiet street is home to remnants of Roman walls, providing a stark contrast to the modern surroundings. The ruins are part of Milan’s ancient defensive structures, once guarding the city during the Roman Empire. Today, they serve as an intriguing historical backdrop, inviting curious wanderers to explore Milan’s roots and appreciate the layers of history hidden beneath its modern façade. It’s a spot where past and present beautifully collide.Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSan Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, often called Milan's "Sistine Chapel," is a hidden masterpiece in the heart of the city. Built between 1503 and 1518, this 16th-century church was part of the Monastero Maggiore, Milan’s most important Benedictine convent for noble women. The church was designed with two distinct areas: one for the nuns, separated by a dividing wall, and one for the lay faithful. This separation remained until 1794
