Free tour of ALTERNATIVE Milan and that of SKYSCRAPERS
Tour description
If you are looking for a light tour or to get to know the alternative Milan that they don't show you on the classic tours, this is ideal for you!
The tour takes us from Sempione Park and its medieval castle to the most modern side of Italy. The tallest skyscrapers in the country , modernity, urban experimentation, fashion, luxury, geniuses, Chinatown, cemeteries that are museums, Jewish memory and legends. Without a doubt the perfect complementary tour for a visit to the city. Reserve now!
We will start next to the Arco della Pace , a triumphal arch that has had, without changing its shape, many meanings, even... opposite meanings between them! We explain it to you!
Parco del Sempione is the favorite recreational place of Milanese. It was the old garden of the ducal residence in the Castello and, due to its history, it is full of legends, such as that of the Bridge of the Mermaids , the bridge par excellence for lovers. They say that the four mermaids who guard the bridge are the defenders of the young people who venture to declare their love . Do you want to know its history?
We will leave the park behind to enter one of the most exotic areas of the Lombard capital, Chinatown , the first Chinatown in Italy created in the first half of the 20th century. There we will learn about the evolution of the neighborhood and its population: trades, typical crafts and of course the ethnic restaurants that you cannot miss. By the way, a neighborhood that hides one of the great jewels of the city and that goes more unnoticed, but don't worry, we present it to you.
After this trip through the Far East, it is time to enter modern Milan through the Garibaldi Gate , dedicated to the great hero of Unity, but without losing sight of the past. Before getting to know the great works of modern architecture, we pay tribute to one of the great geniuses of the Renaissance: Leonardo Da Vinci . We are going to see the Puente delle Gabelle, one of its hydraulic works.
Gaulenti Square and the Library of Trees offer one of the panoramas that most help us understand the modern and lively city that is Milan. The perfect garden for the Milanese skyline that surrounds it: the vertical forest, the palace of the region, the headquarters of Versace and the House of Memory of the 19th century.
An authentic and original Milan, the only tour that shows this side of the city.
