Milan is one of the design and fashion capitals of the world. But it has more to offer than just luxe fashion and vintage clothing markets.
An influential city during the Italian Renaissance (and currently the second-largest in Italy), Milan is home to a stunning cathedral (that took over 500 years to complete), the 15th-century Sforzesco Castle (which houses Michelangelo’s last sculpture), and Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, located inside Santa Maria delle Grazie church.
There is no shortage of history and culture here. One of the best ways to see everything in the city is with a walking tour. There’s a lot to see and connecting with an expert local guide will help you get a deeper understanding of the city.
Here’s my list of the best walking tours in Milan to help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your visit!
Best Overall Tour
Take Walks

Their Best of Milan tour covers the main sights, such as the Duomo and The Last Supper (for which it includes skip-the-line tickets). At three hours, it’s super fun and informative. The guides really know their stuff too!
