Overview

Meeting with a private licensed guide in Milan for a tour that, starting from Castello Sforzesco, will stop first at a historic confectioner’s for your breakfast, based either on an espresso or a cappuccino or fruit juice and a slice of the traditional Panettone. Walking along Via Dante, you will stop at Piazza degli Affari, which was the seat of the Mint and the so-called “shouted market” in high medieval times. After a Salame Milano and Gorgonzola cheese tasting you will reach Piazza dei Mercanti, the medieval core of economic exchanges among traders and Piazza Duomo, where, admiring the spires of the Cathedral, you will sip a glass of Campari. Your walk will continue along the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, livened up by elegant cafés and restaurants. From Piazza della Scala and its homonymous Opera House, you will take a short walk to Brera district. Your last stop will be the famous “cotoletta alla milanese”.
