Tourist Guide to Milan: Discover the City with the Audio Guide

Milan is often associated with fashion and design, but its centre preserves traces of very different eras, from Roman times to the Middle Ages, from the Sforza dynasty to the contemporary city.

With the GuideXpress Milan audio guide you can explore these different faces as you move among monuments, squares and neighbourhoods.

It is a digital tourist guide to Milan designed for anyone who wants to get to know the city on their own.

What to See in Milan: The Duomo and Main Attractions

The most natural starting point is Piazza del Duomo, dominated by the cathedral.

Right beside it stands the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, while continuing west you can reach the Sforza Castle.

Other places then let you explore Milan's artistic, religious and modern sides in more depth.

Visiting Milan on Foot: From the Duomo to the Sforza Castle

From the Duomo you can cross the Galleria and carry on through the centre as far as the Sforza Castle.

It is a relatively short itinerary that takes in some of the city's most emblematic places.

The audio guide adds historical context and curiosities without changing the rhythm of your walk.

Milan and the Sforza: Art, Power and the Renaissance

The Sforza Castle tells the story of a pivotal chapter in Milanese history.

The Sforza court helped make Milan an important political and cultural centre of the Renaissance, attracting artists such as Leonardo da Vinci.

GuideXpress lets you explore these figures and transformations right in the places that preserve their memory.

Itineraries in Milan: Brera and Lesser-Known Neighbourhoods

A visit can continue through Brera, the historic streets of the centre or neighbourhoods that show the contemporary face of Milan.

These routes let you move beyond the Duomo area and build a more nuanced picture of the city.
