The itinerary

Departure from Palazzo Lombardo

Set off on your Vespa from Palazzo Lombardo, famous for its Belvedere on the 39th floor, offering a spectacular 360-degree view of the city and the Alps.


Stop 1: Brera

After seeing the Bosco Verticale and enjoying a pleasant coffee break at Shot Cafè, the tour continues toward the luxurious Brera district: Milan's bohemian and artistic soul. Characterized by cobblestone streets and historic buildings, it is home to the eponymous Palazzo di Brera which houses the Academy of Fine Arts, the Braidense National Library, the Botanical Garden, and the famous Pinacoteca di Brera.

 


Stop 2: Sforza Castle

Reach the beautiful Sforza Castle, one of the largest fortifications in Europe and one of Milan's most famous symbols alongside the Duomo. Located in the heart of the city, it originated in the 14th century as a military stronghold for the Visconti family and was rebuilt in 1450 by Francesco Sforza, who transformed it into a splendid Renaissance residence. Today, it is an immense monumental complex housing some of the city's most important museums and cultural institutions.


Stop 3: Piazza degli Affari

Then head toward the beating heart of Italian finance: Piazza degli Affari. Located a short distance from Piazza Duomo and Piazza Cordusio, the square is home to the imposing Palazzo Mezzanotte, headquarters of the Milan Stock Exchange, and Maurizio Cattelan's iconic and provocative L.O.V.E. sculpture.


Stop 4: Duomo

Conclude this experience by visiting the unmissable Milan Cathedral, officially the Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Nativity of Saint Mary, as well as the undisputed symbol of Milan and one of the most famous architectural works in the world.
