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.

The Best Tours of Milan to Take in 2024 and Why

Ian Sumpter Last Updated: March 28, 2024

Milan is Italy’s second-biggest city and one of its most visited. With a combination of great food, fantastic art galleries, striking architecture, and the Last Supper, it is easy to understand why. In this article, I’ll cover the best tours of Milan to take and why.

Pro Tip: It’s easier to organize your trip when you have all your resources in one place. Bookmark this post along with our guide to Milan for more planning resources, our best Milan tours for a memorable trip, and how to see Milan in a day .

Should You Book a Tour Milan?

The short answer is yes. But why? Milan is a city of incredible museums and sites of major historical significance, with local expert guides to sites like Teatro Alla Scala, the Duomo, and, of course, the Last Supper come alive.

A tour guide can solve logistical issues, like hard-to-get tickets. They can help you access areas closed to travelers without a guide, like La Scala. And they can heighten your experience through expert knowledge and amazing stories, elevating sites like the Last Supper even higher.

This is an excellent tour for anyone wanting to visit the heavyweights and one of the best tours of Milan.

3. La Scala Theatre and Museum Tour in Milan

For lovers of opera or ballet, or music lovers in general, a trip to Milan would only be complete with a visit to Teatro alla Scala, probably the most famous opera venue in the world. With this tour, you’ll get to explore the interior of this storied venue; if you are lucky, you may even catch a live rehearsal.

The tour also includes entry into the La Scala’s onsite museum, where you can view iconic outfits, stage designs and listen to some of the most famous recorded performances in the theatre’s history.

A must-do experience for any music or theatre lover!

4. Idyllic Lake Como Day Trip – With Boat Tour

With this tour, you’ll enjoy a walking tour of Como before embarking on a lake cruise to Torno, with spectacular views of Moltrasio. You’ll have plenty of time to explore on your own and take in this idyllic corner of Italy.

5. Skip the Line Brera Gallery and Neighborhood Tour

At the Brera Gallery, you’ll be struck by the beauty of masterpieces by Hayez, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Rubens—an unforgettable experience.

6. Milan Cooking Class: Risotto and Pasta

You must understand a culture’s food to immerse yourself in a place truly. That’s why the first place I head to in any new city is the food market. And that is what you will do on this tour.

You’ll start by meeting local vendors in Milan’s central market and stocking up on fresh produce that you will lovingly prepare in your upcoming cooking class.

You’ll head to a local cooking school in the heart of Milan, where a talented local chef will teach you how to make unique Milanese dishes back home.

7. Milan Private Walking Tour

8. Skip the Line Last Supper

If the Last Supper is one of the main reasons for visiting Milan, then don’t miss out. Tickets to the Last Supper sell out months in advance. Trying to book them can be like getting tickets to a Taylor Swift concert, as you sit at your laptop constantly clicking refresh as you wait for the next batch to be released.

With this tour, we take care of all that for you and throw in an expert local guide to elevate the experience to another level—the perfect tour for lovers of art and Da Vinci.

9. Milan Duomo: Cathedral, Baptistery and Terraces Tour

The facade of the Duomo holds 2000 sculptures. It is the largest church in Italy (excluding St. Peters, as it is in the Vatican State and not Italy). Its history dates back to 1386, even earlier if we include some of the archaeological areas.

It is a site that deserves your undivided attention. With this tour, that is what it gets. You and your expert guide will skip the long lines before heading into the Cathedral to explore its main sights and a few lesser ones, like the baptistry and the rooftop terraces.

Perfect for anyone wanting to understand the significance of this magnificent structure.

10. Private Day Trip From Milan to Lake Como – With Luxury Boat Tour

Starting the day at your hotel in Milan, your guide will pick you up and transport you to Lake Como in a luxury vehicle. But let’s be honest, you didn’t come all this way to experience the blue beauty of Como by car, did you?

Jump aboard your private boat and skip across the lake like a stone as you make your way to Bellagio and Villa Balbianello. There will be wine, food, and photo ops galore on what will be a truly unforgettable day.

Where To Stay in Milan

Milan is a small city with plenty to explore from iconic landmarks to a vibrant art and design scene and old-world charm. Plan where to stay in the best neighborhoods in this beautiful city.
