What to expect
You'll move at an easy pace through Milan's compact core, stopping to admire facades and interiors rather than rushing. Expect crowds at the Duomo and Galleria, especially mid-morning. The guide handles logistics and shares context on medieval power, Renaissance art, and operatic legacy. The La Scala visit is the centrepiece—you'll walk the auditorium and museum at your own tempo. The Piazza dei Mercanti offers a quieter moment among arcaded medieval buildings. Suitable for all fitness levels; mostly flat walking on city streets.
