What you'll do

Milan’s creative culture spans thousands of years, and it’s absolutely everywhere you look. With your local host explaining the significance of each location, you’ll visit several of the city’s most important artistic attractions, like the San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, a church adorned in 16th-century frescoes that’s right next door to the Archaeological Museum of Milan, home to fascinating remains of ancient Roman art and early medieval murals. Explore the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, a treasure trove of ancient art, and see Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper live and in HD at the Santa Maria delle Grazie church. If modern art is your scene, there’s no lack of independent galleries, and the modern Museo del Novecento is a must-see.

Where you’ll go

In the tangled web of cobbled alleys in central Milan, every backstreet leads to a breathtakingly exquisite masterpiece (or ten), whether it’s in the form of an ancient building adorned with colorful frescoes, an independent gallery showing off modern art or a museum with relics from centuries ago. In Centro Storico, the city’s most central district, you’ll explore the city’s famous historic buildings – some housing works of art, and some that are works of art their own right – before heading to the true artistic heart of the city, the stylish Brera district just 15 minutes north. Here, labyrinthine streets lead between gorgeous galleries and must-see museums, and the Pinoteca di Brera houses one of Italy’s most beautiful art collections.

    Marco was fantastic. A sweet, interesting cultured guy that was very attentive, genuinely excited about his beautiful city and just a joy to be around for a few hours. He showed me some hidden gems of Milan that no tourist usually gets to see, he’s a walking encyclopedia of interesting facts and background info and he got me excited about this city. I’m already planning a longer city tour with Marco next time in the fall with some friends. Plus he showed me the best tiramisu place in town...I’ve been back twice already. Big thumbs up to Marco for making my Milan experience special.
