Notice the picturesque canals that connect the heart of Milan with the main cities around.

Next, you'll visit the San Lorenzo columns, one of the last archaeological Roman sites in the city, as well as Piazza Affari, the heart of the Milan Stock Exchange. Continue to follow your local guide until Piazza Mercanti, an authentic hidden gem just a few steps from the Duomo.

Finally, take in La Scala Opera House, the Temple of Opera, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an opulent shopping mall topped with vaulted glass and iron arcades. Your guide will provide comprehensive insight into this beautiful and famous area of the city.
