Milan’s Duomo
The world-famous Duomo in Milan is one of the largest cathedrals in the world, and you can skip the line to see more of this magnificent structure. This is helpful since Milan’s cathedral is actually bigger than St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City and even St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Follow along with your guide who'll keep you enthralled with the 600-year history of its construction and the coolest things to see—inside, outside, and from the rooftop.
Walking Tour of Milan
Upon leaving the Duomo in Milan's city center, head across the Piazza del Duomo with your guide to one of the world’s most historic and opulent malls: the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. You'll be starry-eyed here as you see the famous shops of Gucci, Versace, Prada and more in a building that feels more like a baroque palace than a mall. Welcome to Milan!
Next your guide will lead you through the historic Brera district, which is the home of Milan's most famous residents. And you'll even pass by the medieval Sforza Castle (one of Europe’s largest citadels) that will come to life with your local guide's narrative.
The Last Supper
What's unique about da Vinci's famous mural is that it's not found in a huge museum filled with other masterpiece. It's located in the small Santa Maria Delle Grazie church—a sacred and private space for a sacred painting. This makes the experience even more memorable and exclusive since only a small number of tourists have access each day, which helps preserve this fragile art.
The next-best benefit, aside from the painting itself, is that your knowledgeable guide can verify or refute folklore, myths, secrets, and facts about the Last Supper. You'll be wowed to reverence as you stand before this 24-foot by 30-foot mural that depicts one of the most well-known nights in Jesus’ life.
