What to expect

You'll move through central Milan's key neighbourhoods with the app as your guide, pausing whenever something catches your eye. The audio provides historical context and fashion-industry insights without rushing you—expect a mix of Renaissance facades, contemporary design shopfronts, and piazzas where old Milan meets new. The tour respects your tempo: spend five minutes in Brera or thirty, the choice is yours. Most complete the route in 30–45 minutes, though lingering is encouraged. You're following a designed path, but not a rigid itinerary.
