Overview

Florence is not the only Renaissance city in Italy. You can still find some traces of that period in Milan as well! Unveil the last masterpiece from Michelangelo right in Sforza Castle, located in the heart of Milan. A few steps away from Duomo, the Cathedral, one of the most beautiful piece of art is resting: Pietà Rondanini by Michelangelo. He did this amazing sculpture when he was 89 years old, only a few days before his death. But it is not all about Michelangelo! Have you ever heard about his friend Leonardo Da Vinci? During the 1.5-hour guided experience with our monolingual guide you will hear many stories about him as well. Finally, every secret of the Castle is going to take life: visit the courtyard and the interior of the Castle and learn about Milan’ powerful families.

Milan amazing tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Fabio is an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic sharing all the stories, background and insights for Milan tour. Highly recommended

Do this your first!!

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour gives you a history and orientation of the castle and a tour of some small sections but there is a lot more to see and your ticket allows you entrance to it all. Go in the morning and plan to stay the day or return later. The tickets are good for all day up to 5 pm. We had planned another excursion later that day and I was sorry for it because there was still so much else to see. Also, do this tour early in your stay in Milan because it orients you to the history and geography of Milan itself. Everything made a lot more sense after learning the history of the Sforza castle. Make sure this is in your list of things to do!!

Great Tour and Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great experience. It was a small group tour (total of 4). The guide was very sweet, knowledgeable, and delivers the information in a greatest way. I totally recommend this tour.

Worth the time and scheduling of this tour.

Published on Nov, 2024

The guided experience was exceptional! Our guide Maria was extremely knowledgeable about the history and specificity of both topics. Maria was an excellent communicator to convey all the interesting history and facts. We really enjoyed our tour and all the information we received.
