Milan Highlights

Milan reveals itself landmark by landmark: a soaring Gothic cathedral, a glittering 19th-century shopping arcade, the world's most storied opera house, a bohemian gallery quarter, a Renaissance fortress, an ancient basilica, and finally Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. This roughly 3 km walk through the historic center takes about 75-90 minutes and links Milan's most iconic sights in one unhurried loop. Start at Piazza del Duomo, right at the cathedral's front steps, easily reached by metro (Duomo station, lines M1/M3) or on foot from Milano Centrale.
