Six Experiences That Show The Majesty Of Milan

With so many big-hitting sights, it can be hard to get a fresh look at Milan. Carefully curated by Culture Trip, these handpicked tours and experiences will take you away from the crowds and show the city in a whole different light.

Milan stands apart from the rest of Italy: a city of futuristic glass as much as historic stone, at times it can feel a world away from the ancient cities to the south.

We’ve put together a list of particularly Milanese experiences that will give you a sense of what makes this magnificent city so different and so special.
