Milan is a city of style, history, and incredible food: but if you only have a short time, it can feel overwhelming deciding what to see first. To help you make the most of your visit, I’ve curated the top three must-do tours for Milan that combine culture, history, and breathtaking views. Book through Styled Getaways for expert help and advice on your trip from start to finish!
1. Rooftops of the Duomo
Why it’s a must:
The Duomo di Milano is Milan’s most iconic landmark. A rooftop tour lets you walk among the spires, admire intricate Gothic details, and take in panoramic city views that stretch all the way to the Alps on a clear day.
What to expect:
- Access to terraces via stairs or elevator
- Expert guide pointing out architectural highlights
- Stunning photo opportunities
Booking tip:
Opt for skip-the-line tickets. Many tours offer VIP early-access tickets or combined Duomo + museum packages.
2. Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper + Milan City Tour
Why it’s a must:
The Last Supper is one of the world’s most famous paintings, but tickets are limited and sell out quickly. Pairing it with a guided city tour ensures you get the full experience of Milan’s historic center.
What to expect:
- Skip-the-line entry to the Last Supper (tickets must be booked in advance)
- Walking tour of Milan landmarks: Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza del Duomo
- Insights into Milanese history, art, and culture
Booking tip:
Styled Getaways can secure priority tickets and work with our local partners to tailor a private city tour to your interests, whether it’s fashion, art, or history.
3. Day Trip: Bernina Express & Lake Como
Why it’s a must:
If you want to experience Italy’s stunning alpine landscapes without venturing too far, the Bernina Express is ideal. This scenic train connects Milan to the Swiss Alps and Lake Como, offering unforgettable vistas in just one day.
What to expect:
- Early departure from Milan for a full-day adventure
- Ride through snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and charming villages
- Optional guided stops in Tirano, St. Moritz, or Bellagio
- Perfect for photography, nature lovers, and quick escapes from the city
Booking tip:
Styled Getaways can arrange private transfers to/from the train station, guided excursions, and tickets to maximize your day trip without the stress.
