The area
Neighborhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

A green lung in the centre of busy Milan city, big massive green area. The park is named after Indro Montanelli, a popular journalist and writer who was known to relax in the park every morning before entering the nearby offices of his newspaper, Il Giornale. Several monuments and tourist attractions are enclosed within the park. Notable buildings include the Ulrico Hoepli Planetarium, the NaturalHistory Museum, the 17th century Palazzo Dugnani. Notable monuments include the statue of Indro Montanelli,a popular journalist and writer. Saw lots of people jogging, visitors strolling through, dog owners bringing their dogs to have fun at the designated dog's playground. One can also see artificial hills, rooks and lakes, trees, shrubs, and flowering plants.

The largest park downtown is this one, you can run, have a rest, to stroll, play with your dog and whatever you like to do outdoor.
Before 2002 , when the park was dedicated to the writer ang journalist Indro Montanelli (1909-2001), the park was called Gargens of Venice Door . Inside the park you can visit the Planetarium and the Natural History Museum.
Many statues and monuments are positioned on the perimeter of the park.

It's a pleasant park, with well marked pathways, a lake, fitness equipment and artwork in various locations. It takes about 15 minutes to stroll through it on your way to the centre of the city. It's free to enter and is open from 06:30 to 21:00.

It was a hot Friday afternoon, my first day, and I was a little lost. But, I know I walked through this park because I remember the museum of natural history, and after I exited, the modern art gallery. I remember seeing a whole lot of young kids (1st grade?) playing on the playgrounds. I was thinking to myself: ”Oh, to be young again “. It seemed like the perfect place for some hotdog stands, but I didn’t see any food nor drink stands. There were a lot of birds along with a handful of people sunbathing. The park also had a lot of shady tree areas, with about 80% shade, mostly in front of the natural history museum.

Just west of Corso Venezia lies this rather dusty city park. Not worth a special trip, but if you are walking from North East Milan toward the centre, cut through for a break from traffic and to let kids have a run. Watch out for speeding, silent cyclists! You might spot a wedding party going to be photographed against the trees.

It is a spacious park suitable for picnic and children. However, it is recommended to visit the nature museum there particularly for children.

Whilst this wouldn't normally appear on a tourist to-do list, it is a lovely historic park.
If you only have a day or two in Milan, then you wouldn’t go out of your way to come here. However, if you have more time and have seen all the big ticket sights already, then this is a nice spot to discover.
We came across it one day, walking from our hotel, near Centrale station to the Duomo. It was about halfway (so about 20 mins walk to the Duomo or station). We took another half an hour out to stroll through the grounds.
It was designed as Milan’s first public park in 1782-1786, by the same man who designed La Scala theatre. He took what were vegetable gardens, orchards and the grounds of a couple of monasteries to create this green oasis. The wide gravel paths have an informal structure so you can wander through and discover different statues, a pond, a lake, a playground and fountains along the way. There is also the Palazzo Dugnani, the Natural History Museum (with Hall of Dinosaurs) and a Planetarium.
A good spot for:
• Children who need to burn off some energy and run about in an open space. Take a picnic for some great time out.
• Pushchairs/strollers – the paths are wide, flat and even
• Running - there were a number of runners at lunchtime, although it was still very uncrowded.
Entry is free.

A lovely park. Free entrance to the museums that border on to it during August. There are lovely stone benches under the trees in the park - wide enough and long enough to stretch out on with a book. A good place to buy refreshments in the centre but the loos are best to be avoided. Lots and lots of dogs!

Indro Montanelli was a renowned Italian journalist and writer. In 1997 he was shot several times by Red Brigade terrorists on a street against the railing of this park. He survived, and this park was renamed in his honour after he passed away in 2001. You can see an online map where you can find the marker of the very spot he held on to the park railing when he was shot on that fateful day - look for "Google Maps Gallery", then pick the first map after you search for "milanfinally best places map" using their search box there.
