What travelers are saying
- Nancy B3 contributionsThis architecture is something you need to see once in your life. Very traditional Italian style impressed me a lot and wanna recommend someone to see also.Written January 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anda NegulescuBucharest, Romania161 contributionsBeing in the cathedral square, you cannot miss visiting this renowned shopping gallery. As we went there shortly after Christmas, all decorations were still in place and it looked very beautiful. Shops belong exclusively to high-end brands, but this is mainly a place of beauty for its architecture and a good people watching spot.Written January 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- haejinaSingapore, Singapore196 contributionsThe experience was amazing and the guide added value to the tour by pointing out details we would have never noticed.
Just one tip- you need to book online early and be on site early. We had quite a miserable experience because it was raining and we had whiny kids. It was unclear what to do there and some of the staff there were quite rude. You must first go to the ticket office (not at the entrance where we thought we should wait but need to walk a bit to the side entrance on the left) to get it checked with a passport then collect your whisperers at another counter. Remember to check your backpacks in the locker before you go back to the entrance (or you will have to walk back again- not fun in the rain and v stressful when the guide has already started to talk). Then there is another round of security checks.
The mural was incredible to see in person, highly recommend.Written January 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This place is very spread out (it was a castle after all!) so there are many types of museums on the property. Unless you plan to spend all day there I suggest you research the various collections and choose wisely.Written January 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anda NegulescuBucharest, Romania161 contributionsThere is no way to arrive in Milan and not to come to the Cathedral square. It is a very generous open space surrounded by impressive buildings and the place where there is always something happening, no matter the season or time of day. A lot of the important streets start or finish here, so the square is also start or finishing point of various walking tours.
A must see!Written January 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - A.BWorldBrasov, Romania36 contributionsIt was a great experience!
There are a lot of stairs, but there is also a lift (for extra cost).
The climb was worth it, the view was great and the roof is nice if you want to see details of the architecture.
If you have time, we recommend going to the roof.Written December 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

At the end of the gallery is a wonderful cafe where we had a delicious cafe latte! All the staff had brilliant English so no need to worry if you can’t speak Italian!
You can buy tickets on the door ( I am a student so it was only €2!) and we went in straight away.Written January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anda NegulescuBucharest, Romania161 contributionsOur visit was not connected with a show, it was just a tour of La Scala. We cued outside for over 30 minutes (and it was a quite cold December day), but we finally managed to get in. The idea is that they let people in as other come out, so as to keep only a certain number of persons simultaneously inside. The same policy applies for your time inside a box, this being the only moment when you actually get to see the hall itself. The hall is beautiful and it feels like a journey in time, as it looks like it was just recently built. The stage seems quite big, but not as big as in other world famous opera houses. We enjoyed very much the museum as well, there are lot of paintings and memorabilia of big names related to Opera (composers and singers).Written January 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- thaisfunciaSao Paulo, SP355 contributionsWhat a great neighborhood to simple stay, walk around , shop around and eat!! We just loved it! Close by everything. Easier to walk then to take the metro or any other transport… simple just walk around and enjoy!Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Angelo SHilliard, OH5,966 contributionsUnfortunately did not see much of the actual inside of the church except for a quick peek due to the funeral of Luca Salvadori that was happening while we were here. Simple brick façade with a decorated, but simple interior. Would need to come back for a better, more tranquil visit. It was interesting being able to bear witness to a very public Italian funeral for one of their beloved young sports figures.Written December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
