Description
Milan is considered Italy’s most global city. Rooted in its tradition yet constantly glimpsing at the future. However, Milan is also passionate about its history and traditions: Milan aperitivo is for sure one of the most loved ones. It is in the Duomo’s shadows that the Milan aperitivo was born. Milaneses, after work, relax in a bar and enjoy a drink, eating salami alongside. For every true Milanese there’s no night out in town that begins without an “ape” (short for aperitivo). In the company of the expert guide you will immerse yourself in Milan city centre, experiencing aperitivo next to the Duomo, strolling in Brera's district, known as the artistis' district, with its timeless charm. You will also visit gastronomy places where you will be able to discover different types of italian and Milanese food. The tour will end with a sweet treat.
