Sights

Il Duomo

Il Duomo is one of the most magnificent churches ever, an example of the Flamboyant Gothic style. It’s massive, colossal and, of course, extremely inspiring. If you have the chance, take a walk on the roof of the cathedral because that’s an impressive experience with mind-blowing views of the city.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

If you’re into luxury shops and elegant cafés, you’ll find Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II a lovely place to visit. Built between 1865 and 1877, designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, it’s a splendid example of the 19th Century’s architecture style. It’s like being in the setting of a movie… a luxurious one.

Castello Sforzesco

Verdi, Rossini and Toscanini performed here at La Scala and there’s also a museum inside you must visit.

Art Galleries

PAC

Galleries, museums and exhibitions highlight issues of great social importance. Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, founded in 1979, is a space fully dedicated to contemporary art. The goal, back in the day, was to generate all sorts of discussion on art and contemporary projects, casting a glance towards the future. Nowadays, the mission goes on.

Hangar Bicocca

Hangar Bicocca is where you’ll find amazing art installations, cutting-edge exhibitions and inspiring workshops. If you’re planning to go out of the city center, Hangar Bicocca might be the perfect choice since it is like a contemplation place for the art enthusiasts. Design is in constant mutation and Hangar Bicocca is a dynamic proof of that.

Museo del Novecento

Museo del Novecento is dedicated to the 20th Century and how it inspired us as years passed by. It’s a place of tremendous value in what comes to cultural and artistic heritage. There are a lot of exhibitions happening throughout the year and certainly you’ll find a lot of things that will make you fall in love instantly. Art is powerful!

MUDEC

Here’s a good example of ideological renovation. MUDEC was an old factory that got transformed into a complex of studios, workshops and other creative spaces. Industrial archaeology gives way to the world of imagination and now you get to see it with your own eyes. Because change always brings good things.

Design Districts

Isola

Isola Design District is to be found next to contemporary architectural excellences such as Piazza Gae Aulenti, Bosco Verticale or the Unicredit Tower. Within this context, a new system made of typical courtyards, shop windows, indoor and open spaces has been created to showcase projects of international emerging designers and local artisans.

5VIE

Bringing style, energy, and diversity to Fuorisalone, 5VIE is one of the richest areas for culture and creativity and better still, it’s located in the heart of the city just a stone’s throw from cultural strongholds like the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and Via Montenapoleone.

Tortona

Lofts, photographic and design studios, showrooms, workshops, fashion ateliers and industrial sites in the district are transformed into exhibition areas where, each year, over one hundred companies present their best products from their previous years.

Brera

For all those who are attending Milan Design Week, the Brera Design District is a mandatory stopping point. It’s like a parallel universe you will remember for life and for sure you’ll feel the need to come back every now and then.
