Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Neighborhood Tours

You most probably know Milan for its business-related reputation already. But Milan is much more than that, and this is what you'll get to realise with this tour. The city is a truly seething metropolis. At times it can seem brash and soulless but beneath the veneer is a serious sense of history and place. The grand Gothic cathedral, the Duomo, lies at the geographical heart of this one-time Imperial Roman capital, and expresses the love of beauty and power that still drives the city today.  Walking along the 19th century's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II you'll get to Piazza della Scala, where you'll have the chance to admire the beautiful theatre and Palazzo Marino. After a quick stop in Piazza San Fedele, the tour will end in the Medieval Piazza Mercanti. You'll then visit Piazza del Duomo, and you'll have the chance to explore, together with your guide, the stunning Gothic beauty represented by the Dome cathedral.
