The experience

An easy, mostly flat bike ride past Milan’s main landmarks and quieter neighbourhoods, from the Duomo to the Sforza Castle.

After a brief safety introduction, the group cycles through central Milan’s glamorous streets, past the gardens of Palestro and the fashion houses of the Manzoni district, stopping at Piazza della Scala to take in the La Scala opera house.

The route continues through Brera’s historic streets to the Sforza Castle, a late-medieval and Renaissance fortress, then on through Parco Sempione and the Ticinese district to the Colonne di San Lorenzo, Milan’s oldest Roman ruins, finishing back at the Duomo.
