Milan, a metropolis in Italy’s northern Lombardy region, is financially the most important city in the country and is a global capital of art, fashion and design. City of the future, it’s also a fast-paced metropolis where creativity is big business, looking good is compulsory and after-work drinks are an art form. From the Gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral, to the UNESCO’s World Heritage Site Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, housing Leonardo da Vinci’s mural “The Last Supper,” the vibrant city has a million attractions (shopping, sightseeing, food and wine exploration, historical and art exhibitions, festivals) for every kind of traveller. In this article, we’ll look at the greatest tours available around the city for mesmerizing experiences of Milan.
1. Wine and food walking tours (from USD 104.0)
Everybody knows Italian food and culture go hand in hand and for Italians, food is not merely a means for survival but defines their history and culture as much as Raffaello and Leonardo da Vinci did. What fewer people know is the greatness of the Milan and surrounding area’s food and wine scene, the own regional cuisine, the typical Lombard cuisines, ranking the vibrant city the top sight to go for food and wine lovers. These 2 tours will guide you through the city’s most iconic places to taste either local wine or food for hours of tasty degustations and learning of the Milanese’s traditions.
From the intimate streets of Brera, stopping at six different spots to taste rich cheese, unctuous prosciutto, hoppy craft beer and other local delicacies (such as mondeghili, the local meatballs), to a walking tour of the Navigli district for a microbrew discovery and beer tasting tour, you’ll love being surrounded by other foodies and following your guide through these surprising and fun tours. In both cases, you’ll find yourself enjoying the places and learning about Milan’s history and its distinctive cuisine, from hearty polenta to breaded veal Milanese to saffron-accented risotto, while learning about Milan’s burgeoning brewery scene in some of the 500 microbreweries of the region. These 2 tours will amaze you and blast your senses for a memorable afternoon!
