About this activity
Start in late morning in the heart of the city, at the famous Duomo. The Gothic cathedral is thought by many to be one of the most beautiful churches in the world, and your guide will point out aspects of its impressive façade. Admire its flying butresses, and the gilded bronze statue of "Madonnina" atop the main spire.
Continue to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for a walk through the glass vaults of the majestic 19th-century shopping arcade. Often referred to as, “Salotto di Milano” (Milan’s Drawing Room), the gallery is surrounded by boutique shops and cafés.
Next, go to Piazza della Scala for a tour of the legendary La Scala Theatre opera house. Built in 1776, the theater has played host to some of the world’s greatest musicians, including Giuseppe Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti. See the beautiful horseshoe auditorium from one of the 4th row boxes.
Continue to the hidden Piazza dei Mercanti, and enjoy a short respite from the crowds as you thrill to Bramante’s illusion of space created during the Renaissance. Stroll through the medieval heart of Milan to Sforza Castle, the impressive fortress of the former Dukes of Milan, and now the home of many of Milan’s finest museums.

we met our guide Laura out side the Duomo in a rainy day, we were only tow of us and Laura. Very knowing person. very good English. she took us inside and out side the Duomo she took us to the La Scala opera house beautiful hall, visiting the rooms with photos and memorial printings, and then walking to the castle. impressive, long walking, but we enjoyed TALMOR.
although weather was very cold and rainy our guide made the trip impressive cosy and wonderful. really recommend this city tour. we learned a lot about the city and the beautiful Scala Theatre
We had a lovely guide who was very knowledgeable about Milan. She gave us many tips about what to visit in more depth after our tour was over.
