Highlights
  • Porta Ticinese - The ride starts from the ancient and bohemian Ticinese district, that owes its name to the eponymous city gate, and from there you saddle up on a classic Dutch-style bike through the must-see areas of the center.

  • Duomo di Milano - You will see the astonishing gothic Duomo Cathedral, the understated Royal palace, the Museo del Novecento and the chic Vittorio Emanuele Gallery.

  • Teatro Alla Scala - You will see from the outside another of the prime Milanese attractions that exudes class and sophistication: the Teatro alla Scala. The story behind the theatre is full of interesting facts and details you will love to learn.

  • Brera District - From La Scala Theatre you head to the Brera artist district where is the city’s Pinacoteca (Art Gallery). Brera is a picturesque neighborhood in Milan where it is impossible not to be charmed by the small artisan workshops in a labyrinth of streets dotted with well conserved period Milanese houses and buildings.

  • Porta Nuova - Once you left Brera, you immerse yourselves in the new rising architectures of the Porta Nuova district. From now on you will have the impression of visiting another era of the city: Palazzo Lombardia, Biblioteca degli Alberi, Unicredit tower, Bosco Verticale, a paradise for architecture enthusiasts.

  • Castello Sforzesco - You make a triumphal entry at Sforza Castle, a strong historical symbol of the city where, among various architects and designers, worked Leonardo da Vinci, who was called to Milan by Ludovico il Moro in 1482.

  • Sempione Park - After visiting the Sforza Castel courtyards, you breath and slow down a bit in the green lung of the city, Simplon park, with its elegant neoclassical Peace Arch.

  • Colonne di San Lorenzo - You get back to the starting point not before visiting the Roman Ruins of the Imperial era when Milan was capital of a glorious Roman Empire with its Palace, Circus and Amphitheatre and San Lorenzo columns.

A fantastic way to explore Milan - We had a fantastic morning on this bike tour. The bikes were in excellent condition and very comfortable. Our guide Paulo was very professional and provided lots of great information about each site we visited. We got to cover lots of ground and many different areas of Milan in the three hours starting with the Duomo, the Brera and Porta Nuova, through the Sempione park and past the Castle. Flat riding, on bike lanes wherever possible, through the back streets and lanes. Highly recommended.

Versatile cycling tour, recommended for young and old! - Viewed all the highlights of Milan on a beautiful Friday afternoon. With two teenagers this was a fantastic way to get around the city. Under the guidance of Renate, I learned a lot about this beautiful and versatile city. Her enthusiasm and love for the city are contagious. Recommended for young and old!

Alternate but late back - Very nice varied tour by Denise. We were with a group of friends. Very cosy. But we started fifteen minutes later and it took a while. In all honesty: if you arrive late, you shouldn't assemble baskets anymore. We were there at 10 o'clock. We almost had to run to our afternoon program. That was actually a shame
