What to expect
You'll meet your guide near Castello Sforzesco and spend roughly three hours walking Milan's old quarters at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently to eat and drink. Expect narrow streets lined with Renaissance facades, squares bustling with modern life layered atop medieval foundations, and plenty of standing while tasting cheese, cured meat and aperitifs. The walk is flat and accessible, with cafés to rest in between stops. You'll leave with a takeaway cutlet rather than sitting down for lunch.
