After breakfast at the hotel, meet your private English-speaking guide at the lobby around 9.30am and begin your walking tour around this wonderful city.

You will be able to plan your itinerary together with your guide: the Duomo, the Sforza Castle, the Columns of San Lorenzo, the Scala Opera House are only a few of the many interesting places you can visit in Milan. By reaching the splendid Duomo Cathedral, you will witness a striking example of Gothic architecture and the largest church in Italy. Walk inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping gallery, a 19th-century glass-vaulted shopping arcade. Brimming with fashionable shops and cafes, it used to be the connecting path between the Cathedral and La Scala Opera House, so that ladies could stay dry on their way to the theatre in case of rain. La Scala Theatre was founded in 1778 and is still in use: it has hosted some of the world’s greatest musicians and opera singers, including Pavarotti, Maria Callas and Giuseppe Verdi.

The afternoon is at leisure.

After breakfast at the hotel, today is at leisure to explore what Milan has to offer.
