Next, your journey continues into the heart of Milan. While your guide shares with you some interesting facts about Milan, ride through the lively city center towards the ancient San Lorenzo columns, which are some of the last archaeological remains from Roman times. Continuing through Milan’s iconic streets, you’ll soon pass by the imposing Milan Stock Exchange, reflecting the city, historical and contemporary significance in the world of finance, and the breathtaking Duomo di Milano, a marvel of Gothic architecture and the city’s most recognized landmark.
After hearing interesting stories from your guide, and a photo stop to capture the intricate details of its spires and statues that tell stories of the city's past, your journey takes you to Piazzale Cadorna, where you'll encounter the Needle Thread and Knot statue. This contemporary art installation by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen adds a modern touch to Milan's historical landscape and symbolize the city's intricate relationship with fashion and industry, serving as a reminder of Milan's dynamic cultural tapestry.
Just a short ride away is the majestic Sforza Castle, a symbol of Milan's Renaissance era, surrounded by the green expanse of Sempione Park. With a gentle pace and time set aside to take pictures and ponder the history and grandeur of Milan, you’ll never feel rushed.
Cross the Finish Line at Piazza Gae Aulenti
The last portion of your Milan e-biking adventure brings you to the city’s modern district. Here, you'll encounter Piazza Gae Aulenti, one of Milan's latest architectural marvels. As your professional guide will tell you, this area stands as a testament to the city's future, characterized by its high-tech buildings and avant-garde design. Among them, the Bosco Verticale complex stands out with its tree-covered balconies, creating a vertical forest.
Around 1:00 pm, you'll be wrapping up your e-biking adventure, filled with unforgettable sights, sounds, and stories of Milan. If you’re ready to dive into a well-deserved lunch, be sure to ask your guide for local recommendations!
