This private 3-hour guided tour will introduce to you the two most famous attractions of Milan: Duomo presenting the classical beauty Milan meanwhile Prada Museum presenting the city modern vibe. To share the real value of Italian culture, you will also experience a degustation of one of the best gelato places in Milan!
The guided tour starts in Piazza Duomo, where you can admire the unique and beautiful gothic architecture of the biggest church in Italy that took 6 centuries to be completed. With pre-booked and guaranteed skip-the-line tickets, you will enter immediately the Duomo rooftop terrace by elevator to have a panoramic 360-degree view of Milan. After that, you will enter the Duomo Cathedral and your private guide will help you to explore the underground archeological area beneath Duomo & the museum of Duomo.
The Duomo of Milan is the largest church in Italy and the fourth largest in the world, with a capacity of up to 40,000 people. In the 1930s a special law was introduced in Milan (as you will discover during the tour, it wasnt respected later on...) for which no buildings could have been higher than the highest point of Duomo. Its rooftops host around 3400 statues and they are not all saints or angels. For example, you can admire the statue of the boxer Primo Carnera, pigeon statue, a tennis racquet, and the Statue of Liberty (the myth says it inspired New York's one!).
After Duomo, you will experience gelato tasting in one of the best gelato stores in Milan. Different from the usual ice cream, the best Italian gelato must be made with all natural ingredients. So remember take our tips to choose the gelato taste of seasonal fruits to ensure that you will try the most authentic, natural, and delicious gelato during your trip with us.
After the gelato break, your private expert guide will accompany you with a taxi to Prada Museum. The building was originally an abandoned distillery complex and thanks to the imagination of the architecture team, reborn into an art space without losing its industrial structures. Co-chaired and established by the famous Italian designers couple: Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli, Prada Museum brings to visitors an unforgettable experience immersed with cultural projects. The permanent collection includes three projects: Haunted House, Grottesque Process and Atlas. Some of the artists involved were Rem Koolhaas, Jeff Koons, Walter De Maria, Damien Hirst, Carsten Höller and many others.
The temporary exhibitions of the museum are updated frequently to bring astonishing projects to Milan from cinema, music, to science and abstract installation.
Your tour guide will also introduce you to “Bar Luce”, the only bar designed by the famous film director Wes Andeson (''Grand Budapest Hotel'', ''Moonrise Kingdom'', ''Rushmore''...). Bar Luce demonstrates Wes Andeson concept of color, architecture and beauty, without losing its function as a place where people relax, meet and socialize.
