Detailed itinerary

The park of Porta Venezia, officially known as Indro Montanelli Gardens, is one of Milan's oldest and most charming green spaces. Located near the Porta Venezia district, it was established in the late 18th century and offers a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. The park features tree-lined paths, elegant statues, and historical buildings such as the Natural History Museum and the Planetarium. It's a favorite spot for families, joggers, and anyone looking to relax in nature.

Piazza Sant’Alessandro is a quiet, elegant square tucked away in the heart of Milan’s historic center. Framed by beautiful baroque architecture, its centerpiece is the Church of Sant’Alessandro in Zebedia, with its striking twin bell towers. Unlike the city’s busier piazzas, it offers a peaceful atmosphere, making it a hidden gem for those seeking a moment of calm just steps from bustling Via Torino. The square’s timeless charm and intimate feel make it a favorite among locals and curious visitors alike.

Stop 3

The Navigli district is one of Milan’s most picturesque and lively areas, famous for its historic canals. With its charming waterside views, art studios, antique shops, and buzzing nightlife, the neighborhood blends old-world charm with a modern, creative vibe. Especially vibrant at sunset, Navigli is a favorite spot for aperitivo, weekend markets, and evening strolls along the canals.

Ticinese is one of Milan’s most vibrant and eclectic neighborhoods, known for its bohemian spirit and historic charm. Centered around Corso di Porta Ticinese, the area blends ancient Roman ruins, like the Colonne di San Lorenzo, with trendy boutiques, vintage shops, street art, and lively bars. It's a favorite among students, artists, and locals who enjoy its relaxed, alternative vibe. The district also connects to the Navigli canals, making it a perfect starting point for exploring Milan’s nightlife and cultural scene.
