The Journey
Full tour description
Aperitivo at Home, the Milanese Way
Begin your stay with one of Milan’s most beloved rituals: the aperitivo. In a private home, learn how to recreate this elegant and relaxed tradition, pairing Negroni Sbagliato with refined small plates and easy sophistication. More than a meal, it’s a lifestyle, one that speaks of hospitality, aesthetics and Milan’s quiet confidence.
Cathedrals in Marble and Canvas
The following day leads you to the heart of Milan: the majestic Duomo, where flying buttresses and Gothic detail reach skyward. Walk its terraces and hidden archaeological crypts before discovering the Church of San Satiro, home to a Renaissance illusion in stone. In the afternoon, stroll through Brera, where cobbled streets lead to one of Italy’s finest galleries, filled with the luminous works of Mantegna, Raphael and Caravaggio.
Leonardo’s City and Timeless Inspiration
Uncover Leonardo da Vinci’s Milan, following his legacy from the frescoed Sala delle Asse in Castello Sforzesco to his most iconic masterpiece, The Last Supper, hidden in the understated beauty of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The city reveals its genius not in monuments alone, but in the harmony between innovation, art and human scale.
