day 1Milan Arrival and Walking Tour
Welcome to Milan! Upon your arrival at Milan Malpensa Airport, our dedicated driver will warmly greet you and provide a private transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon at 14:00, a knowledgeable local guide will meet you at the hotel for a captivating three-hour walking tour through Milan's heart.
Your journey starts by descending via Spallanzani, leading you to the iconic Porta Venezia (Venice Gate). This gate, steeped in history, is said to have medieval and possibly Roman origins. A fascinating urban legend links it to "Porta Renza," named after Renzo Tramaglino, a character from Alessandro Manzoni's "The Betrothed."
You'll proceed to Corso Venezia, enjoying a shortcut through Giardini Indro Montanelli and passing by the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (modern art museum) along Viale Manzoni. Your tour culminates at the awe-inspiring Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) and the majestic Castello Sforzesco, a medieval fortress.
We've arranged a delightful aperitivo experience for you at a refined bakery near the castle. After this, you'll have some free time to explore Milan independently before heading back to your hotel for an overnight stay.
