This about three-hour bike tour offers a mix of Milan’s main sights and lesser-known local spots. It begins in Porta Ticinese, a historic and bohemian district named after its city gate. From there, participants ride classic Dutch-style bicycles at a relaxed pace through key central areas. The route includes a stop at the Duomo di Milano, where riders see the Gothic cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Museo del Novecento, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Next, the tour passes Teatro alla Scala, viewed from outside, with the guide sharing interesting details about its history. The group then cycles to the Brera district, known for its art gallery and narrow streets lined with artisan workshops and period buildings. After Brera, the tour moves to Porta Nuova, where modern architecture like Palazzo Lombardia, Biblioteca degli Alberi, Unicredit Tower, and Bosco Verticale showcase Milan’s newer skyline. The tour continues with a visit to Castello Sforzesco, a landmark fortified castle linked to Leonardo da Vinci, who worked there in the late 15th century. After exploring the castle’s courtyards, riders take a break in Parco Sempione, a city park featuring the neoclassical Peace Arch. The final stop is the Colonne di San Lorenzo, Roman ruins from Milan’s time as an imperial capital, including columns from the ancient palace and amphitheater. The tour includes a guide, bike, and helmet rental. E-bikes and hotel transfers are not included. The group size is kept small for a friendly atmosphere.
