Best Milan tours

1.  Milan hop-on hop-off bus tour

For those who want to explore Milan at their own pace, and with an element of flexibility, the Hop-On Hop-Off approach is a great choice. The company’s open-top double-decker takes you past sights including the Duomo, the La Scala opera house and Il Cenacolo Vinciano. Simply climb on and alight as you wish.

2.  Skip-the-line Duomo and rooftop guided tour

Not one for queuing? This two-part guided tour takes you to around Milan’s magnificent cathedral, up to its summit, and down into its subterranean crypt – without having to wait in line with all the other sightseers. Great for the impatient.

3.  Skip-the-line Leonardo da Vinci walking tour

Another queue-jumper tour, this one takes you into the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a Unesco-listed site that contains the ‘Last Supper’ mural by Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in Milan for some time. There’s also his ‘Atlantic Codex’ to see: a frankly mind-boggling compedium of some of the Renaissance man’s scientific drawings and writings. Disclaimer: you’ll probably come out feeling like a real under-achiever.

4.  La Scala theatre and museum tour

This tour takes you around one of the most famous opera houses in the world, the Teatro alla Scala, and its adjoining museum. This is a chance to wander around a sumptuous eighteenth-century institution, and look over a rich collection of costumes, painted portraits and musical instruments. 

5.  Lake Como day trip

Beautiful, sweeping and set against a backdrop of mountains, Lake Como is one of the true great natural wonders of Italy, and a popular tourist area. This tour takes you through the streets of Como city, out on the waters over to Bellagio Island and up the funicular to the town of Brunate.

6.  Walking tour of Brera

An essential tour if you’ve got Italian cucina on your mind. This one sends you on a journey through the district of Brera and to six different locations where you can sample traditional Milanese dishes, artisanal beer and other delicious victuals. Best loosen your belt before you embark!

7.  Evening cooking lesson with dinner

Or maybe you want to have a crack at making your own Italian grub? This tour takes you into a genuine Milanese home – in her kitchen, Aurora will teach you how to make handmade pasta, regional meat dishes and desserts including canoli, tiramisu and pannacotta. Naturally, you get to try your efforts. 

8.  Lake Maggiore day trip

Another water-based tour, this time out to the beautiful Maggiore, in what the organisers describe as ‘Italy’s Lake District’. (We can’t help thinking the weather will be a lot more hospitable here.) You’ll also get the chance to explore the quaint lakeside village of Stresa and the Borromean Islands. 

9.  Skyscrapers guided walking tour

Not just a centre of gorgeous Renaissance buildings, Milan is also home to some astounding contemporary architecture. This three-hour tour focuses on the city’s dazzling skyscrapers, from the award-winning twin Bosco Verticale buildings to the UniCredit Tower in Piazza Gae Aulenti.

10.  Milan in one day: Last Supper, Milan Duomo and walking tour

If you’re only in the city for a short while, then this tour is a good choice – it sends you on a whistlestop route through various key sites including the cathedral, Leonardo’s masterpiece in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and popular shopping destination Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

My Self-Guided Tour of Milan

My day tour of Milan actually started in Bergamo, where I was living at that time. I took a train from Bergamo to Milano Centrale early morning.

I learned how useful it is to know how to say thank you in Italian when I accidentally took the wrong train that was heading over to Brescia instead of Milan

Next time, I’ll pick one of the good neighborhoods of Milan to stay for at least three days. I want to explore the city and maybe to attend a show at Scala di Milano.

Although I thought everything was clear, I managed to make a mistake. I took the train going the opposite direction. I had noticed that the train arrived about ten minutes earlier than scheduled, but I didn’t have any worry. I imagined it just arrived in advance. Little did I know I was going to waste about one hour of my day in Milan jumping from one train to the other.

As I was watching the mountains out the window, I was struck by a dark insight: the mountains were on the wrong side of the railway. I realized my mistake before arriving to Brescia, so I was able to jump off the train as soon as it hit the station. It only took a few seconds to notice a train that was heading to Milan.

After asking a few people for confirmation, I jumped on that train. It didn’t even cross my mind that my ticket I had bought the previous day wasn’t good for this fancier train.

As the control team came, I showed them my ticket. The Italian guy smiled and explained in Italian that I should have taken another type of train. At the same time, he realized that my journey had started in Bergamo, so he understood I had taken the wrong train. He smiled, and allowed me to travel without having to pay anything extra (although I was pretty sure the new train was more expensive, as it was better looking and much faster than the other one). Anyway, my advice to you is to watch carefully what type of train you want to take, and buy your tickets accordingly.

Beware that in Italy trains heading to opposite directions may share the same rails.

Bergamo is one of the stations where this happens. You always need to make sure you take the train you were intended to. If you see it arriving earlier than expected, ask someone where it goes.

Milano Centrale is very close to the Duomo, so here’s where you should start your tour from.

If you want to visit the cathedral, take into consideration you’re going to need between one and two hours. The tickets start from around $25-$30 for a self guided audio tour, and they may go up to over $40 for skip-the-line access and the visiting of the Crypt. If time allows, you should go for the full tour. The Duomo is one of the Milan must see things. It is fabulous.

Buy your Milan Cathedral and Rooftop ticket here today.

Keep in mind that some of the tourist objectives included in the tour are closed on Wednesdays.

Always do your own research before booking any tour, just to make sure that you’re going to see all monuments and attractions on your Milan bucket list. Read reviews and check out forums such as Reddit and Quora.

Here’s the Duomo di Milano on the map .

The striking Gothic design of the Duomo is worth the money and the effort. Besides, climbing to the top of the cathedral will grant you an excellent photo opportunity. If you don’t want to take the stairs to the top, you can pay a few dollars more to choose the elevator ride.

Even if you decide to skip the visit, you should still assign about 30 minutes for taking photos of the exterior of the cathedral. This impressive construction took about 600 years to complete, and it is a marvelous work of art.

You have to see it to understand why everyone considers it a must while visiting Milan.

Do you want to see the world’s oldest shopping mall? This is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a four-story covered passage which is considered one of the major landmarks of Milan, Italy.

As you stand in front of the Duomo di Milano, facing the building, the Galleria is on your left hand side. If you can’t spot it, just ask anyone around you for directions.

Most probably you won’t be doing any shopping inside the gallery, as those luxury shops have crazy prices. Expect to spend a few good minutes inside, though, because the mosaics on the ground are amazing, as well as the arching glass and cast iron roof.

One of the four mosaics depicts a bull which is very hard to miss, as there are always crowds of people around it. The legend says that spinning around with one heel on the bull’s balls will bring you good luck. Unfortunately, this legend has helped creating a big hole in the said area of the Turin Bull .

As you exit the Vittorio Emanuele II gallery, you’ll reach Piazza della Scala. Here you can find the statue of Leonardo da Vinci, and a few museums worth vising.

However, remember that you are supposed to spend only one day in Milan, so you may want to skip all these museums. Save them for another time, and head to the next stop, Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco).

Sforza Castle, also known as Castello Sforzesco, was one of the largest citadels in Europe, during the 16th and 17th centuries. You’ll get to Sforza Castle right after you leave the Scala Square  (Piazza della Scala). The castle is hard to miss, as it is literally huge. Here’s where it is in Milan.

The castle hosts the Museums of the Castello, where you can see one of the last works of Michelangelo and many other masterpieces of great Italian artists. If you plan to visit the museum, make sure you schedule one full hour for that.

Behind the Sforza Castle you’ll find the Sempione Park. This is a lovely place, an oasis of peace and relaxation.

I would have loved to spend my full day in Milan in Parco Sempione, watching the people passing by, the leaves falling off the trees, and the lovers holding hands and kissing on the wooden benches.

The admission to Park Sempione is free of charge. During winter months, the park is open from Monday to Sunday,. from 7 am to 6 pm. During summer months, it closes at 7 pm.

Anyway, if you make it part of your Milan one day itinerary, you’ll find it open regardless the season, as you’ll get here by 2 pm (give or take one hour).

Exit Sempione Park through the gate nearby the Triennale di Milano, take the Viale Moliere street, then Viale Pietro e Maria Curie , Via G. Leopardi , Via Aurelio Saffi , and then Via Fratelli Ruffini.

Buy your half-day Milan history tour and The Last Supper here . If you only want a Last Supper guided tour, click here .

This terracotta Renaissance church with Gothic interior is home to Da Vinci’s The Last Supper.

The church is very beautiful, and it makes a cool contrast with the surrounding buildings. It is a very nice place to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. I didn’t visit it, but I spend quite a while taking photos and enjoying the view.

This is a landmark neoclassical pink granite gate with pillars, erecting right in the middle of modern constructions, roads and railways. It marks Napoleon’s victory in Marengo.

You’ll only need a few minutes to catch your breath and take a few photos. If you’ve got enough of walking for your day in Milan, you can skip it, and go straight to the Columns of San Lorenzo.

This is an archeological site consisting from of 16 Roman marble columns, next to remains of an amphitheater and baths. It is amazing to see the new and the old together.

I love how Italians preserved their ancient remains without compromising on the development of the city.

People in Milan can go on with their lives, while tourists and history fans can stop to appreciate the beauty of ancient constructions.

If you look on a map of Milan, you’ll see that you are already close to the Duomo and to Milano Centrale. Depending on the amount of time you have left, you can either stop for some food, get on your train, or go for some shopping.

Via Montenapoleone is the place to go for luxury shopping in Milan.

For more down to earth shops (and ready-to-wear brands you can find all over Europe), head over to Corso Buenos Aires, or Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.

For unique clothing items and nice food choices, try the Corso Venezia Avenue and Corso di Porta Ticinese.

You can see enough of Milan in one day, provided that you stick to the center of the city and to the main tourist attractions. This article on my blog describes a self guided Milan walking tour you can try if you have one day to spare.

You can also do this as part of a bigger Northern Italy itinerary . If you were to do the same in Rome, for instance, you’d need several days of Rome walking tours self guided or with a guide to get to see the city.

Milan is one of the must-see places in Italy . Although famous for being The European Capital of Fashion, Milan boasts a few tourist attractions worth seeing, either in a self-guided walking tour or by booking a guided tour like this one, here .

Besides, there are some cool day trips you can take from Milan , so you can make it your base camp for one week, to see the beautiful Lombardy. As Milano Airports are important nodes for flights to and from exotic destinations all over the world, you might end up having one day Milan layovers. Beware, though, you’ll need more than six hours layover to be able to visit Milan without missing your flight.

Even though it isn’t as overwhelming as Rome or Florence, Milan is worth at least a short walking tour.

Here’s a brief video walking tour of Milan that includes many of the above listed landmarks:

Wherever you may be coming from, chances are you’ll have an easy time getting to Milano Centrale , the main train station in Milan. This is one of the main railway stations in Europe, and it is conveniently located in the center of the city. This makes it the perfect spot to start your one day in Milan from.

When taking a train in Italy, always make sure it is the one you’ve been waiting for. If your train is supposed to arrive at line 1 at a certain time, don’t jump on any train arriving several minutes earlier. I did this mistake and I found myself on a train to Brescia instead of Milan. Fortunately I noticed that I had the mountains on the wrong side, so I jumped off the train and took another one back to Milan.

Even if your self guided Milan walking tour won’t end in the same spot, you’ll find lots of transportation options to get to Milano Centrale once you’re done walking and shopping.

Just make sure you check how much time you need to get back to the train station. If time allows, take the vintage tram to Milano Centrale. It has a very long itinerary and it is slow, but it lets you see a lot of this elegant city. I found public transportation in Milan to be better organized and more reliable than in Rome.

When planning your day, you should consider leaving the shopping for the end of your walk, in order to avoid carrying all those bags with you through museums, cathedrals and parks. Once you’re done with your sightseeing, you can head over to some shops and spoil yourself with a few nice outfits or an elegant pair of shoes.

Speaking of this, make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes like these ones , as you have a long day ahead. If you want, feel free to see my own top of the best walking shoes for travel .

These are only a few things to do in Milan. The whole itinerary may be a bit too much for one day, though.You may want to get on a hop-on hop-off bus to see everything in one go without that much walking. Check out this link to see the price of this tour as of today.

For slow travel and relaxed sightseeing, you should schedule an overnight stay in one of the Milan hotels. You can find a pretty good list here . This would enable you to visit all the museums and take your time to admire all those stunning works of art and architecture.

In terms of what to wear in Italy , make sure you check out the weather forecast before you pack. Also, dress in layers and don’t forget that burglars and pickpockets are waiting for distracted tourists.

I'm wondering if purchasing a private guided tour (through something like Viator or Get Your Guide) allows for access to see The Last Supper, if you can't get tickets through the website. Does anyone have any experience with this, or purchased a tour to get access to TLS? I'm not sure how this works, or if you just have to purchase them directly through the website several months before. Thanks.

4 replies to this topic

It is of course best to get it directly from the official site

https://cenacolovinciano.org/en/

but, yes, there are means of using tour operators to get in, usually combined with City Tour etc.

Here is one local tour operator

https://www.zaniviaggi.com/tour/walking-tour-of-milan-following-leonardo-da-vinci-last-supper-included/

Thanks, hadiwi. I don't really use those platforms, and thanks for the insight. I will check out that thread. I don't know how fast the tickets go once the website portal is opened. It's good to know I can hire a tour group to help us see TLS, and may opt for that after trying for tickets directly from the website. Have you used Zani Viaggi before? I'll try contacting them. Much obliged.

Yes, I have used Zanni Viaggi before. There are forum members who used them also for Bernina express trips.

Bologna clinch Champions League qualification: Why Serie A's upstart should follow Atalanta's model in Europe

Thiago motta's team will officially play champions league soccer next season.

After an incredible and exciting season, Bologna are now officially qualified and will play Champions League soccer during the 2024-25 season. After Atalanta's win over AS Roma on Sunday, the side coached by Thiago Motta could celebrate around the streets of the Italian city afterr the unexpected success that will see Bologna playing in Europe's prermier club competition for the first time since 1965. 

The question now is can Bologna replicate their season? Can they take their unexpected success and durably turn themselves into a team that's competitive at the highest levels? The answer is yes, here's why. 

BOLOGNA, WE DID IT. ❤️💙 #UCL #WeAreOne pic.twitter.com/OCzf1RD2E4 — Bologna FC 1909 (@BolognaFC1909en) May 12, 2024

Even if this was singular season to remember for Bologna fans, and one that was completely unexpected, it wasn't a coincidence. Bologna started to work years ago to reach this level. Joey Saputo, the Canadian businessman who is also the owner of the MLS side CF Montreal, acquired the Italian team back in 2014, and became the sole owner one year later. Under Saputo, Bologna were never relegated to the Italian second division, but also never qualified for any European tournament until this season.

Saputo, without making promises to the fans, worked on his vision step by step. First of all, he created a team that was stable enough to play Serie A soccer every season. He worked with some of the best sport directors of Italian football, such as Walter Sabatini who became the Head of Football in 2019, with his tenure lasting until 2021. But the success arrived with another great mind of Italian soccer, Giovanni Sartori, who previously worked at Chievo and most notably at Atalanta. He signed with Bologna before the summer of 2022 with a clear target to improve the team and possibly repeat the success he had at Atalanta, where he brought the team to the European competitions multiple times. Thanks to his ability to find young talents around the world, and also his way of dealing with players in the transfer market, he quickly improved the team, mixing some young talents with players with more experience. 

Oh hi there, @ChampionsLeague 👀 #UCL #WeAreOne pic.twitter.com/wUQcQTmO1H — Bologna FC 1909 (@BolognaFC1909en) May 13, 2024

During the 2023-24 season, only Serie A winners Inter did better than Bologna in terms of numbers. Bologna currently have the second best defense of the league (27 goals conceded), five defeats (Inter only had two) and are fully in the race to end up in third place behind the same Inter and AC Milan . This was only possible to the work of coach Thiago Motta, who transformed his team since he was appointed in September 2022.

Before Bologna, Motta only coached the PSG academy, Genoa (where he was sacked after 10 games) and did well at Spezia , saving the team from relegation during the 2021-22 season. Despite the interests of many European clubs, like PSG for example, where Motta is deeply appreciated by president Nasser Al-Khelaifi himself, he decided to start a new adventure at Bologna. It's gone so well that there will be many suitors. Juventus , in particular, are looking for a new manager and saw in Thiago Motta the perfect profile to start a new cycle if current manager Massimiliano Allegri does not return. 

Whatever happens with Motta and Bologna, he was able to improve players to make them ready to play European soccer. Play, Joshua Zirkzee , Riccardo Orsolini , Dan Ndoye, Riccardo Calafiori , Stefan Posch and more. Motta saw the potential in these players and was able to put them in the condition to show it. Zirkzee, for instance, has scored 11 Serie A goals so far, while last season he only scored two. His improvement and quality of football played were one of the main reasons of the success of Bologna this year. 

Zirkzee goes nuts as Bologna OFFICIALLY qualify for Champions League 😂 pic.twitter.com/xOsKv3RzsK — Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) May 12, 2024

Players and managers can come and go, but Bologna now have a vision. It wasn't an easy job and took some time but now it's there. While it's true that if we want to compare Bologna with Atalanta where Sartori worked before, the fact that the coach Gian Piero Gasperini has been in charge there since 2016 helped the club to build year after year. With Motta's likely departure, it will be interesting what kind of manager will be in charge of the team next season, and what kind of consequences it will have on the team. But Bologna fans can now count on a solid project that is guided by a person who knows what to do. 

Last, but not least, let's not forget Sinisa Mihajlovic, the former Bologna coached who sadly passed away in 2022. Bologna fans and players loved him, and played for him when he was fighting against leukemia and was still in charge of the job. The spirit of this team comes from that experience and his spell at the club. This is why team star Riccardo Orsolini immediately remembered him after the Champions League's qualification became official. Orsolini said to DAZN: "I can't hide it. When the Atalanta game ended, he was the first one who came up in my mind. He transmitted his attitude to us, he created the bases for this."

Childish Gambino Announces World Tour in 2024-2025, Drops New Album ‘Atavista’

by Em Casalena May 13, 2024, 10:20 am

The time has finally come: Childish Gambino is touring in 2024-2025! The rapper has also just released a reimagined and re-recorded version of his 2020 record 3.15.20 under the new title Atavista . The New World tour will promote the new album, along with support from fellow artists Willow and Aamarae. Fans in the US, the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand will have a chance to see the “This Is America” hitmaker live!

Videos by American Songwriter

The Childish Gambino 2024 Tour will kick off on August 11 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at Paycom Center with support from Willow. Pending any additional tour dates, the tour should close on February 11, 2025 in Perth, Washington at RAC Arena with support from Aamarae.

Getting tickets will be a pretty simple affair. An artist presale event is slated to start on Wednesday, May 15 at 10:00 am local via Ticketmaster . Head to the tour website to get the code. There will also be a presale event for American Express cardholders, as well as VIP packages.

General on-sale will begin on Friday, May 17 at 10:00 am local on Ticketmaster. The presale events will likely sell out a lot of Childish Gambino’s tour dates for this run. If that happens to your respective tour date, we recommend checking Stubhub for last-minute tickets. Stubhub often has tickets to sold-out shows in stock, especially for major tours like this one.

“So Beautifully Simple”: The Story Behind “It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (but I Like It)” by The Rolling Stones

Here’s every city Childish Gambino will perform in for the ‘New World’ tour

Childish Gambino has revealed the list of cities he’ll be performing in for his next world tour – see the full list below.

Today (May 13), rapper-actor-comedian Childish Gambino, real name Donald Glover , released his ‘Atavista’ album, along with a music video for the new track ‘Little Foot Big Foot’ . The album is the “complete” version of his 2020 record,  ‘3.15.20’ .

Besides releasing the album and music video, Gambino has also now revealed the list of cities he will be performing in for his recently teased world tour . The tour is being dubbed the ‘New World’ tour, and will see the rapper embark on his first string of shows since 2019.

While no concrete dates have been shared and it’s currently unknown when and where the tour will begin or the order of cities he’ll be performing in, the tour’s website has now been uploaded with a scrolling list of cities .

The tour will see the rapper performing in the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. It is currently unclear if other regions such as South and Latin America, and Asia will be added to the list in due time.

The current list of cities in Childish Gambino’s ‘The New World’ tour is, in alphabetical order:

Amsterdam Atlanta Auckland Austin Berlin Birmingham Boston Brisbane Brooklyn Brussels Calgary Chicago Cologne Columbus Copenhagen Dallas Denver Detroit Dublin Edmonton Glasgow Hamburg Houston Kansas City London Los Angeles Lyon Manchester Melbourne Milan Milwaukee Munich Nashville New Orleans Oklahoma City Oslo Paris Perth Philadelphia Phoenix Pittsburgh Portland Prague Raleigh Saint Paul Salt Lake City San Francisco Seattle Sunrise Sydney Tampa Toronto Uncasville Vancouver Washington

Besides releasing ‘Atavista’, a music video for ‘Little Foot Big Foot’ and the current slate of cities in his upcoming tour, Donald Glover has also provided an update on his next – and final – album as Childish Gambibo: ‘Bando Stone & The New World’ will double as the soundtrack for his upcoming movie of the same name.

Glover wrote of the upcoming album on social media : “the all new childish gambino album comes out in the summer”. He also teased a special vinyl release for ‘Atavista’, which will include “visuals for each song”.

‘3.15.20’ was awarded four-stars by  NME  when it was initially released in 2020: “Glover’s willingness to share such a candid moment on record is particularly interesting given his past proclivity towards keeping his private life largely offline, and may be a sign that the star is beginning to let his guard down as the outside world continues to try to peer in.

“It’s an approach that Glover is applying to his musical output at least, with the impressive ‘3.15.20’ well worth the wait — we’ll keep our fingers firmly crossed, then, that he doesn’t give in to his past evasiveness and take the record down again…”

The race spans Italy and is broken up into 21 long, grueling stages, with a particularly harsh stretch through the Alps. Primož Roglič won the competition last year, but he has opted to sit out in 2024 in order to train for the Tour de France, paving the way for a new victor.

With the exception of most Mondays, the race is held every single day, so there's almost always some action you can catch. For US viewers, this will mean waking up a little early, since most of the races start at around 6:30 a.m. ET. Fortunately, the American streaming option we've outlined also keeps the races on demand, so viewers can catch up on a delay if they want.
