La Scala

Luxurious architectural wonders await you inside La Scala Theatre; from a breathtaking crystal chandelier to a vast collection of set designs, costumes and musical instruments. Your expert English-speaking guide will regale the group with anecdotes and pieces of history. However, if the tour size is over 5 people, you will each be given audio headsets for a personalized listening experience. If luck is on your side, you might even catch a glimpse of rehearsing artists!

The Duomo

You will then make your way toward one of the most iconic symbols of Milan, an impressive gothic cathedral. Your expert guide will share their knowledge about art and history as they tell you stories of the ancient rituals and curiosities behind this imposing monument! Be amazed while hearing about the stories of the “Holy Nail” from Jesus’ True Cross or the Sundial Trail and its zodiac signs.

Take this chance to inspect the endless details of its façade and admire the statues, spires, bizarre gargoyles, and colorful stained-glass windows. Stroll along the aisles, reach the main altar and pay homage to the tomb of Saint Charles Borromeo, one of Milan Holy Patrons, found inside the crypt below.
