There's So Much More To Milan Than Its Historic Buildings. Now You Can Discover The Food And Culture Of The City Like A Local

You’re spoilt for choice in terms of what to see and do in Milan – and there are many innovative ways to experience the sights that make the city so unique. Let Culture Trip’s curated list of original tours and experiences take you to the very heart of Italy’s northern powerhouse.

There’s so much to explore in Milan, but even more to discover through a local’s perspective. The Milanese do things a little bit differently: theirs is a world of revving engines, strong espressos, and parties that go on long into the night. They’re bolder and more bombastic than their counterparts in Rome or Florence, and as such, they present all manner of ways for you to explore their city. Here is a selection of six of the most daring and original experiences the city has to offer, so you can learn not just about the sights, but about its character, too.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
