Itinerary
Experience Milan with a local host who knows the city beyond the typical tourist route. From historic landmarks and elegant piazzas to modern districts and creative neighborhoods, this private experience reveals the character and culture of Milan at your own pace. Before the experience begins, you will receive a short online questionnaire so we can understand your interests and travel style. Your host will use your responses to design a personalized route through Milan that blends well-known highlights with local neighborhoods and hidden corners. Here are some highlights your host may include during your experience.
Begin in Piazza Mercanti, a beautifully preserved medieval square in Milan’s historic center. Surrounded by arcaded buildings and centuries-old architecture, this quiet space offers a glimpse into the city’s past when merchants once gathered here to trade.
Walk through Milan’s renowned fashion district, home to elegant streets such as Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga. Luxury boutiques, historic buildings, and refined cafés reflect the city’s global reputation for fashion and design.
Discover Milan’s modern side in Piazza Gae Aulenti, a contemporary square surrounded by striking skyscrapers and innovative architecture. This district highlights the city’s transformation into a global hub for design, finance, and urban development.
Continue along Corso Como, a lively pedestrian street known for its mix of boutiques, cafés, and creative spaces. The area reflects Milan’s modern lifestyle and blends fashion, design, and nightlife in one energetic neighborhood.
Finish along the Naviglio Grande canal, where colorful buildings, small galleries, and local cafés line the water. Once essential for trade and transport, the canal now forms one of Milan’s most vibrant and characterful districts.

About Milan
Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.
The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.
Top-ranked sights in Milan: Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), Da Vinci's Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), La Scala (Teatro alla Scala).
