Milan is often seen through the pragmatic lens of fashion, design, and business – a city of elegance and efficiency, always on the go. But beyond the surface lies a richer story. Let us reveal the Milan that moves to its own rhythm.
Hidden behind the southern facade of Palazzo di Brera, the Orto Botanico is a romantic green idyll. Tucked amongst the buildings of central Milan, it's a peaceful escape in the heart of the city.
A vibrant village, dressed in palm trees and fragranced by jasmine, plays host to Liberty-style palaces, secret gardens, and ornate fountains. After exploring its hidden corners, head to Piazza Cinque Giornate for some shopping and a well-earned espresso.
Right behind the majestic Sforza Castle lies Parco Sempione, a peaceful slice of green loved by locals. With its tree-lined paths, shaded nooks, and storied monuments, it's perfect for a walk, an afternoon doze, or simply to see the city breathe.
