Start the day with a magnificent Sforzesco Castle tour, enjoying its beautiful courtyards, the centerpiece of an unforgettable skyline.

We will meander towards the Brera Art Gallery, a seventeenth-century palace housing the Academy of Fine Arts, to admire the building, from the outside, before browsing the buzz of designer boutiques. And, the real Milanese aperitivo experience.
